2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FD64 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 87,305 miles passed, it followed a failure just two days prior. This failure revealed significant neglected safety items, including 90 percent worn front brake pads, thin tyres, and a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system. These findings suggest that the current owner only addresses faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,275 miles per year. Between 2017 and 2021, the car maintained a clean record with no defects, suggesting a period of very low use. However, the usage accelerated significantly after 2021, jumping from 46,718 miles in late 2021 to 87,305 miles by late 2025. This increased mileage correlates with the appearance of wear on consumables, such as brakes and tyres, seen in the later inspection entries. A buyer must closely inspect the front braking system, as the December 2025 record indicates both discs and pads were nearing the end of life. The recurring issue of worn tyres on multiple axles across 2024 and 2025 points to potential alignment problems or failure to maintain correct tyre pressures. Additionally, the persistent deterioration of the rear registration plate, noted every year since 2022, indicates a lack of attention to minor exterior defects. While no structural corrosion has been flagged, the history of failed headlamp aims and stop lamp failures necessitates a thorough check of all electrical components and lighting adjustments.
