2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FL14 FBY

The maintenance trend for this 2014 Ford Fiesta is entirely stable, reflecting a vehicle that has consistently met required safety standards. The most recent MOT on 24 February 2026 at 29,025 miles passed with zero defects recorded. This unblemished record extends back through every test since 2022, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural issues have required remedial action. The absence of advisories or failures across five consecutive tests demonstrates a robust mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage, averaging roughly 2,400 miles annually. Between the February 2022 test at 23,779 miles and the February 2023 test at 25,259 miles, the car covered just 1,480 miles. This pattern persists through the subsequent years, with the 2024 test at 26,630 miles, the 2025 test at 27,688 miles, and the 2026 test at 29,025 miles. Such minimal annual accumulation suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or used exclusively for short, local journeys. Despite the clean MOT record, the extremely low mileage warrants a specific physical inspection focused on the effects of prolonged standing and short-trip driving. A buyer should closely examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and check that the calipers are not binding, as low-speed, short-distance travel prevents the pads from wiping the rotors clean. Tyre sidewalls require scrutiny for perishing or cracking, as tread depth may remain legal while the rubber degrades from age and lack of use. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be inspected for deterioration, which can occur simply from the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. Finally, verify the structural integrity of the underbody and exhaust system, as short runs trap moisture and accelerate corrosion of components that would otherwise dry out during longer drives.
