2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · DA14 LBZ

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 77,696 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous failure on the same date and mileage that listed no defects, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing consistent mechanical condition across the recorded period. Recorded mileage sits at 77,696 against a 12-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,475 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The car gained 5,966 miles between the October 2022 test at 58,691 and October 2023 at 63,809, then 7,848 to October 2024 at 71,657, and 6,039 to the 2025 test. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear. The DVSA history is sparse and clean, with no flagged consumable wear or structural issues across five years. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age. The absence of advisories in the record does not exempt a 2014 chassis from age-related fatigue. Verify the duplicate October 2025 entries with DVSA to confirm the failure was clerical and not a withheld defect. Check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions during viewing. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but twelve years of service warrants hands-on confirmation of drivetrain and structural integrity before purchase.
