2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GF64 OFW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2024 at 66,745 miles was a pass, it followed an immediate failure involving multiple critical defects. The presence of an engine Malfunction Indicator Lamp failure during that test is a concerning electronic or sensor issue that was addressed before the re-test. The overall state of the vehicle suggests the owner only addresses faults when forced by a tester rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 12 years old, the recorded 66,745 miles represent approximately 5,500 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. The mileage data shows consistent low usage, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 4,500 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This low-mile profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age, which aligns with the mechanical wear issues noted in the record. A buyer must physically inspect the front offside suspension specifically, as the ball joint was flagged for play in 2024. Such wear in ball joints can affect steering precision and safety if ignored. The tyres also require a thorough check, as the previous record noted both uneven wear and a sidewall cut, which may indicate alignment issues or poor-quality rubber. Given the history of multiple failed stop lamps and registration lights, a full test of all exterior lighting circuits and wiring is necessary to ensure no further corrosion or bulb failures remain.
