2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LP63 FSF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in late January 2026 at 69,150 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repair, where the owner addresses specific failures immediately upon testing. While the January 2026 test failed due to an offside front suspension ball joint and incorrect headlamp aim, these issues were rectified to achieve a clean pass. This pattern suggests the current owner is willing to fund safety-critical repairs once flagged by the DVSA. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 69,150 miles represents an annual average of approximately 5,762 miles. This is significantly lower than the national average, which typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The gap between the February 2024 test at 54,806 miles and the February 2025 test at 61,641 miles shows consistent usage of roughly 6,800 miles in that period, though low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake hardware. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension, as the nearside front ball joint failed for excessive wear in 2025 and then showed play again in early 2026. This recurrence indicates a potential issue with component quality or the use of sub-standard replacement parts. The corrosion noted on both rear coil springs in 2025 also warrants a physical inspection to ensure the rust has not progressed to structural fractures, as these components are common failure points on this Fiesta model when exposed to road salts.
