2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FR08 OXO

The MOT history for this 2014 Ford Fiesta indicates a pattern of recurring failures immediately prior to successful passes. In the most recent test conducted on 3 December 2025 at 74,873 miles, the vehicle passed without major defects. However, this followed a failure on 2 December 2025 at the exact same mileage, suggesting that necessary repairs were addressed only hours before the re-test. This trend was mirrored in December 2024, where the vehicle failed on 4 December at 71,960 miles and passed the following day on 5 December after intervention. The mileage progression is relatively consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 66,087 miles and the December 2024 test at 71,972 miles, the car covered roughly 5,800 miles. The interval between the 2024 and 2025 tests saw only 2,913 miles driven. While the low annual mileage generally reduces wear on consumable components such as brake discs and suspension bushes, the repeated failures at the test station indicate that specific mechanical or safety issues are being managed reactively rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer should focus on the specific components that caused the failures in late 2024 and 2025. Since the vehicle consistently passes immediately after a failure, it is likely that issues are related to items like lighting, wipers, or minor leaks that are rectified upon inspection. The structural integrity of the vehicle appears stable based on the recent passes, but the frequency of the re-tests suggests a maintenance history where only the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness are met.
