2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · EU64 MTY

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 6 August 2026 with no defects recorded. Looking at the historical data, the maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its annual inspections without major failures. While there were several advisories noted in 2021 and 2025, the clean result of the latest test indicates that these issues have likely been rectified, suggesting a proactive approach to maintaining roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 84,319 miles over approximately twelve years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,027 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a car of this age and class. This balanced mileage profile suggests that the drivetrain and engine have been used regularly enough to avoid the pitfalls of long-term standing, such as seized calipers or perished seals, while remaining low enough to avoid the premature exhaustion of major mechanical components. Despite the recent clean pass, the 2025 advisories regarding pitted and scored front brake discs and thin brake pads are significant. You should listen for any grinding or squealing during braking and feel for vibrations or shuddering through the brake pedal, which would indicate that the discs were not replaced but merely skimmed or left to wear. Additionally, the 2021 record highlighted perishing and cracking across all four tyres, which often points to rubber degradation from age rather than mileage. Carefully inspect the current tyre sidewalls for similar fine cracking and check the date codes to ensure the rubber is not outdated. Given the vehicle's age, you should also perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of splitting or corrosion, as these are common wear points for this model. Verify the service history to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, particularly the engine oil and coolant, have been performed regardless of the annual mileage. Finally, check the condition of the 12V battery and inspect the underbody and sills for any signs of structural corrosion, which can develop over a twelve-year period regardless of the recorded mileage.
