2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · GC14 AFO

This 2014 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record across five consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-12-29 at 103,091 miles confirms no mechanical or safety-critical failures, suggesting the vehicle has been reliably maintained within legal limits. The absence of recurring advisories or defects implies that major components—such as suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers, and exhaust systems—have not yet reached critical wear thresholds. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude gradual degradation in areas like tyre condition, fluid levels, or minor corrosion, which require independent verification. The recorded mileage of 103,091 miles over approximately 12 years reflects an average of around 8,600 miles per annum, a rate that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in MOT testing, with the most recent test occurring just seven months ago, which is commendable for ensuring ongoing compliance. The interval between the 2022 January and November tests—covering 7,325 miles—is also reasonable, though slightly longer than the subsequent annual intervals. This pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme mileage spikes or prolonged neglect, though the buyer should confirm whether service intervals (beyond MOT requirements) have been adhered to. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on tyres , brakes , and suspension components . While no advisories were recorded, tyre tread depth could have deteriorated beyond the legal 1.6mm limit, particularly if the vehicle has been driven hard or exposed to uneven surfaces. The brakes, though not flagged, should be assessed for uneven wear, glazing, or binding calipers, especially given the age and mileage. Suspension bushes and coil springs may show signs of cracking or compression, particularly at the rear, where wear often manifests first. Additionally, inspect the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity over time. Fluid levels—brake, power steering, and engine oil—should also be checked, as these are not routinely covered by MOT testing.
