2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MM64 HSG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 59,186 miles passed, the tester flagged a corroded exhaust system. This follows a failure in September 2024 at 55,510 miles due to excessive play in the offside front inner track rod end. The presence of these mechanical faults suggests that the owner only addresses significant issues once they result in an MOT failure. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 59,186 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. This low-use profile is consistent across the records, with only 3,673 miles put covered between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components, which is evidenced by the recurring advisories regarding perished and cracking tyres noted in 2022 and 2024. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows a persistent issue with dry rot and cracking despite the low mileage. The suspension system also requires close attention; ensure the track rod ends and related steering components were replaced and that no other bushes have developed play. Additionally, the corroded exhaust noted in the 2025 test should be inspected to determine if the corrosion is merely surface-level or structural thinning that will require an expensive replacement in the near future.
