2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FH63 DJZ

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 September 2025 at 69,836 miles with zero defects recorded. While the MOT record is currently approaching one year old, the maintenance history indicates sound structural integrity and mechanical compliance. A failed test occurred on 13 September 2024 at 64,812 miles; however, the record shows no defects attached to this failure, indicating an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The immediate retest on 20 September 2024 passed cleanly, demonstrating that any underlying issue was swiftly resolved. Evaluating the mileage accumulation against the vehicle's age reveals exceptionally low usage. Between 30 August 2022 and 4 September 2023, the Fiesta covered 8,679 miles. The following year, from 4 September 2023 to 13 September 2024, mileage increased by only 4,733 miles. From the September 2024 test to the September 2025 test, the odometer advanced a mere 4,996 miles. This equates to roughly 5,820 miles annually, well below the national average. Such low mileage often points to short, urban journeys, which can cause specific issues like brake disc corrosion and exhaust condensation, despite the clean MOT record. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, the low-mileage profile warrants a focused physical inspection. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the brake discs and calipers for surface rust, a common affliction on vehicles that stand idle or travel short distances. Suspension bushes and coil springs require scrutiny for perishing, as rubber components degrade with age and lack of use rather than mileage alone. Tyre sidewall cracking demands attention, given the car's age and low annual rotation. The exhaust system must be inspected for internal condensation corrosion, a typical issue for engines that rarely reach optimal operating temperature. A thorough test drive will confirm whether the clutch and gearbox operate smoothly, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from seized components or stiff linkages due to prolonged inactivity.
