2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP64 OBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent period of reactive neglect. While the car passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 59,109 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior at 59,103 miles. The failure revealed serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers and multiple lighting faults. This suggests the previous owner adopted a minimum necessary approach to repairs, waiting for an MOT failure to address mechanical issues rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This usage remains consistent across the records, moving from 38,124 miles in late 2022 to 59,109 miles by late 2025. However, low mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components and seized parts. The transition from oil misting on shock absorbers in 2022 to serious leaks by 2025 confirms that the suspension components are failing despite the low distance travelled. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension, as the shock absorbers progressed from light misting at 38,124 miles to a critical failure at 59,103 miles. The braking system also shows signs of wear; the December 2025 test flagged thin front pads and scored, pitted brake discs. These issues indicate that the vehicle has been driven with worn components well beyond their optimal service life. Additionally, the offside front tyre was noted as being worn on the edge, which suggests a potential alignment issue that requires professional inspection to prevent further tyre wastage.
