2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · HS14 MPO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 111,222 miles passed, the immediate preceding failure revealed multiple defects across the electrical and tyre systems. The recurring pattern of failing on minor items like bulbs and wipers suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative checks between inspections. At 111,222 miles over 12 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,268 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for its age. However, the data shows a significant spike in usage between September 2023 (83,333 miles) and September 2024 (98,618 miles), where the car covered over 15,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation likely contributed to the accelerated wear observed on the tyres and braking components noted in the subsequent test results. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the record flagged the front brake discs as pitted, scored, and worn in both 2024 and 2025. The persistence of this issue across two years suggests the discs were not replaced or that the calipers may be causing uneven wear. Furthermore, the repeated reports of inner edge wear on the front tyres in 2024 point to a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require professional verification to prevent further premature wastage of new rubber.
