2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE14 TXO

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 8 November 2025 at 95,813 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 7 November 2024 at 92,295 miles and 24 January 2024 at 87,668 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,984 miles, typical for a twelve-year-old car. The record moves from 81,166 miles at the January 2023 test to 87,664 miles at the January 2024 failure, then 92,295 by November 2024 and 95,813 by November 2025. A minor gap appears between the January 2024 and November 2024 tests where roughly 4,600 miles were added in ten months. The data is sparse but clean, with only one anomaly: a failed test on 24 January 2024 at 87,664 miles showing no defects recorded, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 87,668 miles. This suggests an administrative or process error at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No advisories or defects were logged across any test, so the history gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic statutory testing current, though absence of advisories does not confirm consumables such as tyres or wiper blades were proactively renewed between tests. Given the lack of recorded faults, the Fiesta's mechanical provenance looks sound on paper. Physical checks should focus on hidden wear not captured by MOT: steering rack gaiters, exhaust hangers, and suspension arm bushes. The repeated zero-defect outcomes point to a car that met minimum standards consistently, but twelve years of use warrants hands-on verification of drivetrain condition before purchase.
