2014 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FG14 ARU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate rectification following MOT failures. The most recent test in February 2024 at 177,440 miles passed with no defects, following a failure just seven days prior. This suggests that the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical issues once identified, rather than allowing faults to persist. The maintenance trend remains consistent as the car has maintained a clean record across its three successful inspections. At 177,440 miles, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 14,800 miles per year, which is significantly above the national average for a car of this age. The interval between December 2021 and November 2022 shows the vehicle covering over 30,000 miles in under eleven months, indicating high-intensity usage. Such rapid mileage accumulation places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system. The lack of a recorded MOT since February 2024 means the vehicle is currently overdue for testing, which complicates its legal certification status. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the lower suspension and chassis, as the high mileage often leads to wear on bushes, control arms, and coil springs. Given the history of failures immediately before passes, specific attention should be paid to binding calipers or worn brake discs that may have been recently replaced. While the record does not list specific structural corrosion, the high volume of travel necessitates a close look at the sills and mounting points to ensure that the structural integrity has not been compromised by years of heavy road use.
