2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LC64 ABK

The 2014 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2024-05-18 at 62,589 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. Previous tests from 2023-06-07 (60,645 miles) and 2022-06-16 (56,267 miles) also passed without issues, confirming consistent compliance. A single failure on 2021-11-12 at 53,072 miles was recorded, though no defects were noted, suggesting a minor procedural or technical anomaly. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the last three years indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting UK road safety requirements. Mileage progression shows the car has accrued 62,589 miles over 12 years, averaging 5,216 miles annually—a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged inactivity. The gap between the 2021-11-12 test (53,072 miles) and the 2022-06-16 test (56,267 miles) spans seven months with a 3,195-mile increase, followed by a 4,378-mile rise over 13 months to 2023-06-07. These increments suggest sporadic operation rather than regular driving, which could affect components like the battery, tyres, and fluid systems. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, but the low mileage warrants scrutiny of potential storage-related wear. A buyer should inspect for signs of long-term inactivity, such as dry-rotted tyres, corrosion on underbody components, or degraded brake fluid. While no suspension or braking issues were flagged in recent tests, the 2021 failure—though non-defect—merits checking for unresolved minor faults. The low mileage reduces wear on consumables like brake discs and suspension bushes, but stored vehicles often face hidden issues. Confirming the vehicle’s service history and conducting a pre-purchase inspection for rust, fluid leaks, and electrical system functionality will provide clarity on its current condition.
