2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MD14 YHW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the most recent MOT from August 2025 at 33,038 miles indicates a recurring issue with brake disc condition. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This follows a similar advisory in August 2023 at 30,085 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle passes its tests, the braking components are subject to surface degradation. The mileage history shows a very low usage pattern, averaging approximately 2,750 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. This low frequency of use is evident in the gradual progression from 16,825 miles in 2017 to 33,038 miles in 2025. While low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, the record suggests the car may sit idle for extended periods. This is supported by the recurring advisories regarding tyre perishing and brake disc pitting, which are common symptoms of vehicles that are not driven regularly. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and the condition of the tyres. The repeated mentions of pitted and scored discs since 2021 suggest that the discs may require replacement soon to maintain optimal performance. The 2021 test at 25,841 miles highlighted significant tyre issues, including a structural bulge and cracking, which indicates that rubber degradation is a known maintenance requirement for this vehicle. Given the low annual mileage, you should also inspect the battery health and the condition of all rubber components, such as suspension bushes and coolant hoses, which can perish when a vehicle remains stationary. The history shows a pattern of minor consumable maintenance, such as addressing tyre tread and headlamp aim, rather than serious structural or mechanical failures. The vehicle appears to be mechanically sound but requires attentive monitoring of its wear items due to its infrequent use.
