2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DA14 ULH

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a pass on 16 December 2025 at 67,057 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows a clean result with no defects, though the prior day's failure on 15 December 2025 at identical mileage with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five entries from April 2023 to December 2025, the vehicle cleared every test where a result was logged, indicating no recurring advisories or escalating wear patterns. The odometer sat at 47,039 miles in April 2023, rose to 55,104 by December 2023, then 61,246 in December 2024, and 67,057 in December 2025. That equates to roughly 5,588 miles per year against a twelve-year life, a low figure for the age. The gaps between tests are annual or near-annual with no sudden accumulation; the car saw about 6,000 miles in the 2023 to 2024 period and similar in 2024 to 2025. Sparse but clean records give little insight into consumable turnover, though low standing mileage can mask perished suspension bushes or corroding brake calipers that light use will not expose. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe for corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely periods out of regular service. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for binding or uneven wear, as the MOT never exercised them under load sufficient to flag latent faults. Verify the December 2025 fail-and-pass sequence with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed defect. Tyres and wiper blades show no advisory history, but at this age expect original-grade rubbers to be due regardless. The structural integrity reads sound on paper; an independent ramp check remains the only way to confirm the underside matches the clean DVSA log.
