2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EO14 GPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the car passed its November 2025 test at 120,306 miles, the tester identified multiple advisories that were absent in previous years. This transition from a defect-free history to a report involving suspension and tyres suggests that the vehicle's rubber components are now reaching the end of their functional life due to age and accumulated mileage. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles between January 2023 and November 2024, and another 12,600 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of standing, which explains the perishing degradation of the front tyres and suspension bushes noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the front suspension system. The 2025 test flagged worn rear axle front bushes and suspension arm pins, which can lead to steering instability and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. The front tyres require immediate attention as they are cracking and reaching the legal limit, indicating the rubber compound is becoming brittle. Additionally, the deteriorated rear registration plate should be replaced to ensure the vehicle remains fully compliant, though it did not pose an immediate safety risk.
