2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MJ14 WMC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean mechanical record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 27,053 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a successful pass in 2024 where only a minor advisory regarding windscreen damage was noted, which was addressed prior to the subsequent test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,254 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered only 5,558 miles, suggesting a pattern of short-distance use or periods of inactivity. While this low mileage typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it increases the risk of rubber-based parts, such as seals, bushings, and tyres, degrading due to age and dry rotting rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the rubber-related components. The November 2021 test at 21,495 miles flagged perishing and uneven tyre wear on the front axle, which often indicates alignment issues or age-related degradation of the tyre compound. Given the low annual usage, the tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for surface rust or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often develop corrosion that can affect braking performance.
