2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FD14 KGJ

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy condition, following a clean MOT pass in January 2026 at 62,276 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and improving, as the defects identified in previous years have been addressed. The transition from a test with multiple advisories to a recent result with no recorded defects suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical wear issues flagged during annual inspections. At twelve years of age, the recorded 62,276 miles represent an annual average of approximately 5,200 miles, which is significantly below the national average for a petrol of this era. The usage pattern is consistent, with 3,297 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. While low mileage often correlates with less mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and perishables if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear subframe and suspension assembly. The January 2025 test at 58,979 miles flagged worn pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear subframes. Although these did not result in a failure at that time, they indicate the onset of structural corrosion or material fatigue in the chassis. Check for signs of heavy rust or movement in the subframe mounting points to ensure the condition has not worsened. The nearside front tyre was noted for uneven wear in 2025, which suggests a potential alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature wear on any replacement rubber.
