2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FJ64 RWY

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 August 2025 at 17,948 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since 2022. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage stays low for a twelve-year-old car. The tester logged 14,948 miles on 22 August 2022, rising to 16,146 miles by 15 August 2023, then 16,771 miles on 20 August 2024, and 17,948 miles on 26 August 2025. That equates to roughly 1,500 miles per year. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation and no unexplained gaps, though the same-day fail and pass on 15 August 2023 at 16,146 miles suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical defect, since no faults were listed on either entry. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Low annual use and long standing periods raise the risk of perished rubber components, seized suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on structural underbody points. Check brake discs for rust pitting from disuse and verify tyre sidewalls for cracking. The clean test history implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory upkeep current, but the absence of advisories means wear items like coil springs and exhaust emissions were within limits yet unmeasured between tests. A pre-purchase inspection of drivetrain seals and steering joints remains sensible given the car's low but ageing profile.
