2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EF64 RSO

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, showing a stable maintenance trend following a period of repair. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 23,155 miles passed with no defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been successfully addressed. This clean result across the last three annual tests suggests the current ownership is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 1,930 miles per year. There is a significant shift in usage patterns between December 2020, where the car sat 64,906 miles, and December 2021, where mileage dropped to 20,678 miles. This suggests the vehicle was either replaced or driven extensively previously before transitioning to a low-mileage usage pattern thereafter. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and engine mounts. The December 2022 test at 21,622 miles flagged a defective rear gearbox mounting and corrosion on both nearside and offside rear coil springs. Although these passed in subsequent tests, low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust or rubber perished cracking due to sitting stationary. Additionally, given the low usage, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or seized calipers, which frequently occur when a car is rarely driven.
