2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FN14 XUD

The maintenance trend for this 2014 Ford Fiesta remains stable, culminating in a clean pass on 9 March 2026 at 43,508 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle passed its MOT without any advisories or failures, indicating sound mechanical and structural integrity at the time of the most recent inspection. Covering roughly 3,626 miles per year, the mileage accumulation is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the March 2024 test at 38,743 miles and the March 2025 test at 41,789 miles, the Fiesta covered 3,046 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating just 1,719 miles before the March 2026 test. This pattern suggests light, local commuting or prolonged periods of standing, which can present its own issues like perished rubber components or brake surface corrosion despite the low distance covered. Although the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural corrosion, the anomaly of failing the test on the same day as passing in both 2025 and 2026 warrants scrutiny. A failure recorded with no specific defects often points to a minor pre-test rectification or a tester discrepancy, but a buyer should verify the braking system and tyre condition personally. Low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from binding calipers and uneven brake disc corrosion due to lack of use. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing caused by standing stationary, and check the exhaust system for moisture-related corrosion, which commonly plagues cars that sit idle for extended periods.
