2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DL14 UXK

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last term. The most recent test in November 2025 at 85,365 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding a cracked offside rear fog lamp lens. This follows a clean record from November 2024, indicating that the mechanical condition of the car has remained consistent without significant regressions in the last eighteen months of operation. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 62,279 miles and November 2025 at 85,365 miles, the car covered 23,086 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to premature degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and exhaust system. The 2022 test at 69,858 miles flagged worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes, a common issue on this model that can affect steering precision and cause tyre wear if not replaced. While the 2023 test noted a poor front exhaust flexi, the buyer should verify if this was replaced or if the exhaust is currently leaking. Given the previous 2022 advisory for an edge-worn tyre, a thorough check of the current tyre alignment is necessary to ensure the suspension is not still causing uneven wear.
