2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DL63 OUK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the MOT record indicates a clear trend of increasing wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. The most recent test on 2025-12-16 at 67,155 miles was passed with no defects, yet this date is only 11 days away. The previous tests show a consistent pattern of passing mileage between 52,000 and 55,000 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has not been maintained at the current level of care for the last two years. This gap in maintenance history implies that the owner may have been relying on accumulated wear to pass the test rather than addressing issues before the vehicle reached the 67,155 mile mark. The mileage accumulation rate is steep, with the vehicle averaging approximately 5,600 miles annually. This pace is consistent with a typical UK used car, but it is notably faster than the 5,596 miles per year recorded for a 12-year-old car, which suggests that the owner may have driven less frequently or maintained the vehicle for longer periods. The high mileage in the most recent test indicates that the drivetrain and suspension have accumulated significant wear relative to the vehicle's age, which could lead to premature failure in the future. Given the history of passing tests at low mileage followed by a sharp rise in mileage, the owner should inspect the suspension bushings and coil springs for corrosion or binding, and check the brake discs for wear. The lack of defects in the most recent test suggests that the vehicle may have been driven on loose surfaces or in poor conditions, but the trend of increasing mileage points to a need for immediate mechanical review. A future MOT at 67,155 miles will likely reveal binding calipers or worn brake discs, necessitating a complete rebuild to ensure the vehicle remains safe for future use.
