2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LS64 UMU

The 2014 Ford Fiesta shows a clean and consistent MOT history, with the most recent test on 17 October 2025—just nine months ago—confirming full compliance without any defects or advisories. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the absence of recurring faults or advisories in the last three tests implies no major mechanical or structural issues have been overlooked. The most notable anomaly is the duplicate entry for 19 October 2023, where the vehicle was tested twice at the same mileage (88,843) but passed both times, which may indicate a clerical error rather than a mechanical concern. Overall, the trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening conditions or deferred repairs. The recorded mileage of 106,833 miles over 12 years—approximately 8,900 miles annually—falls within the expected range for a vehicle of this age, though it does not suggest aggressive use. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the odometer increased by 11,394 miles in a single year, indicating either a period of heavier usage or a lapse in mileage tracking. The consistency of passing tests without fail suggests the previous owner adhered to the minimum legal requirements, though there is no evidence of proactive servicing beyond MOT compliance. Given the lack of recorded defects or advisories, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on wear items that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these components are not visually inspected during the MOT but can degrade silently over time. Brake discs and pads, while not explicitly failed in the record, warrant close scrutiny for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has seen heavier usage in recent years. Additionally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or corrosion, particularly around joints and the catalytic converter, as these are common failure points in older Fiestas. Finally, the underbody should be inspected for signs of structural rust, particularly around the sills, wheel arches, and rear subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in a vehicle of this age.
