2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FH14 SYZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on February 10, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed mechanical failures immediately upon testing. While the most recent test failed just one day prior due to a split nearside front outer drive shaft CV boot, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects or advisories indicates a proactive approach to necessary reactive repairs rather than allowing faults to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 38,043 miles in February 2024 to 42,260 miles in February 2026. This de-coupled pattern of low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and primary suspension components. However, low mileage often masks age-related issues such as degradation of rubber components and seals from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, specifically the nearside rear service brake which showed excessive fluctuation in February 2025 at 40,161 miles. This often indicates a warped disc or a sticking caliper, which can recur if the vehicle sits stationary. Additionally, the buyer should inspect the nearside front CV boot to ensure the recent replacement was thorough and that no grease leakage is present. Given the age of the car, checking for surface corrosion on the chassis and perished rubber bushings is essential, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation.
