2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE64 UGD

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile through its recent MOT history, with the most recent test on 13 August 2025 at 40,780 miles resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, though the 2025 test introduced two new advisories not present in the preceding four consecutive clean passes. The nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge indicates uneven wear, likely pointing to a tracking or suspension geometry issue rather than simple neglect. The corroded exhaust is a common age-related finding on a twelve-year-old vehicle and does not suggest a sudden mechanical failure, but it does mark the first structural corrosion advisory in this record. The mileage pattern tells a story of very low annual use. Covering just 1,649 miles between August 2024 at 39,131 miles and August 2025 at 40,780 miles, the vehicle has been driven sparingly in its most recent year. Over the full recorded span from September 2021 at 33,336 miles to August 2025 at 40,780 miles, the annual average sits at roughly 2,482 miles per year, well below typical UK averages. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest odometer tampering. The record is clean and consistent, with five consecutive passes and no failures documented. Despite the low mileage, the nearside front tyre wear pattern deserves attention. Edge wear on a single tyre typically points to a worn suspension bush, a weak coil spring, or misaligned tracking rather than a simple inflation issue. A buyer should have the front suspension inspected for worn wishbone bushes, drop links, and shock absorber condition. The corroded exhaust should be examined for perforation, particularly at joints and the rear silencer box, as corrosion can accelerate rapidly once it takes hold on a twelve-year-old system. The low mileage means brake discs, pads, and drivetrain components may show less wear than expected for the vehicle's age, but prolonged periods of standing can cause brake calipers to bind and discs to surface-corrode. A road test should confirm the handbrake holds firmly and the vehicle pulls straight under braking. Overall, this is a well-maintained example with a transparent history, but the two new advisories in the latest test suggest the next owner should budget for tyre replacement and exhaust attention in the near term.
