2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · HN14 FGP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of deferred mechanical attention. While it passed its most recent test in November 2025 at 60,489 miles, this followed a significant failure just two weeks prior at 60,390 miles. That failure revealed an inoperative engine management light, which is a critical concern as it masks potential engine faults. The transition from a failure to a pass with multiple advisories suggests that the owner only addresses faults when forced by the testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 12 years old, the recorded 60,489 miles represent a low average usage of approximately 5,000 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent between 2022 and 2025, with annual intervals of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles. However, the low mileage often correlates with age degradation of rubber-based components. This is evidenced by the 2025 report noting perishing and cracking on the rear tyres, which indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods or used aged rubber despite low mileage. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and damping system. The record shows a persistent issue with misting offside front shock absorbers dating back to 2022, which has progressed to include a misting offside rear absorber by late 2025. Furthermore, the base-level corrosion on the rear coil springs noted in 2024 and the worn suspension pins and bushes flagged in 2025 suggest the suspension geometry is nearing its functional limit. The recurring uneven wear on the inner edge of the nearside front tyre in 2025 also indicates an alignment issue that requires professional adjustment to prevent premature tyre failure.
