2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MD14 SZY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than preventative ownership pattern. While it passed its most recent test on 7 May 2026 at 67,760 miles, it failed just weeks prior due to a coolant leak, a fractured nearside front coil spring, and a damaged nearside rear tyre. The trend is inconsistent, as the owner appears to only address mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than replacing components when they are first flagged as advisories. At 67,760 miles, this Ford Fiesta shows low annual mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant gap in usage between April 2023 at 65,127 miles and January 2025 at 66,863 miles, representing less than 2,000 miles driven over nearly twenty months. Such long periods of standing often lead to the corrosion seen on braking components, which explains the persistent pitting and scoring on the front discs noted across three consecutive testing years. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as both discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored since January 2025, suggesting they have not been replaced despite repeated warnings. The recent failure of the nearside front coil spring in 2026 and the rear suspension bushes in 2025 indicate the suspension may be suffering from degradation due to age and inactivity. Furthermore, the coolant leak identified in the May 2026 test requires a thorough pressure test to ensure the water pump or hoses are not failing, as these leaks can lead to rapid engine overheating if left unaddressed.
