2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EX64 PVJ

The vehicle holds a valid MOT as of July 2025 with no recorded defects, indicating it passed the most recent test. However, the history reveals a failure in August 2024 due to exhaust emissions, a faulty tyre pressure monitoring system, an unsecurable bonnet, and recurring issues with wheel distortion and corroded rear coil springs. While the exhaust, TPMS, and bonnet were rectified for the subsequent pass, the advisories for distorted wheels and corroded suspension components persisted into September 2024. This suggests an improving trend for some systems but an unresolved, potentially serious concern with the rear suspension integrity that requires immediate physical inspection. Mileage accumulation shows a typical average of approximately 7,100 miles annually, but a notable spike occurred between September 2022 (74,837 miles) and August 2023 (82,412 miles), adding 7,575 miles in 11 months—well above the yearly average. Usage then dropped significantly before rising again modestly to the current 85,032 miles. This pattern may indicate a period of intensive use followed by reduced activity, which could affect component wear cycles, particularly on consumables like tyres and brakes. Given the recurring advisories for corroded rear coil springs and distorted front wheels across multiple tests, a buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering components. The persistent corrosion on both rear coil springs is a structural red flag; severe corrosion can lead to spring failure. The offside front wheel distortion, noted in 2022 and 2024, suggests ongoing wheel or tyre damage requiring assessment for true alignment and balance. Additionally, the 2023 advisory for front tyre wear on the edge points to possible alignment issues from the distorted wheel or worn suspension bushes. These items are not merely consumable wear but indicate underlying mechanical neglect that could compromise handling and safety.
