FH63 GVY MOT History
Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.
5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2014 Ford Fiesta (FH63 GVY) between May 2024 and May 2026.
The record contains 3 passes and 2 failures.
The most recent test on 28 May 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 2 failures that buyers may want to investigate.
Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Tyres (8 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (5 issues), Suspension (2 issues), Lighting (1 issue). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.
In total 16 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust on a vehicle fitted with a diesel particulate filter emits visible smoke of any colour (8.2.2.2 (d))”; “Nearside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush excessively worn (5.1.2 (b) (i))”; “Offside Rear Axle swivel pins and bushes swivel pin and/or bush excessively worn (5.1.2 (b) (i))”.

Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a review of the service history to see how the exhaust and emissions failures from 2025 and 2026 were addressed. Specifically, look for evidence of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) cleaning or replacement, as the vehicle failed on visible smoke and emissions limits.
Given the repeated MOT notes regarding tyres being 'completely bald' on the inner edges in both 2025 and 2026, you should verify if a full four-wheel alignment has been performed. Negotiate the price based on the likelihood of further suspension wear, as this model has already required rear coil spring and axle bush replacements.
The 1.5L diesel engine typically offers strong fuel economy, making it cost-effective for higher annual mileages. Insurance and road tax for this Fiesta variant generally fall into moderate brackets for small diesel cars.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average for this specific car. The MOT history indicates a propensity for exhaust leaks and suspension corrosion, which can lead to unpredictable repair bills beyond standard servicing.
Carefully inspect the exhaust system for signs of patching or recent replacement, referencing the major leak and emissions failures recorded in 2025 and 2026. Check the rear suspension area for any signs of corrosion or new components, as the vehicle has previously failed on both rear coil springs and rear axle swivel pins/bushes.
Examine the front tyres specifically for uneven wear on the inner edges. This recurring MOT failure suggests a persistent alignment or suspension geometry issue that may still be present if not professionally corrected.
This red 2014 Ford Fiesta 1.5L diesel has recorded 99,767 miles. The MOT history is marked by recurring issues with exhaust emissions and structural wear, including rear axle bushes and corroded coil springs. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026, the frequency of failures suggests a vehicle requiring significant corrective maintenance.
The Fiesta is generally well-regarded, though aggregate data identifies exhaust and coil springs as top failure reasons, both of which have affected this specific vehicle.
