2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · MT14 ACU

The 2014 Ford Fiesta stands roadworthy with a stable, fault-free maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 35,223 miles which returned a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests on 5 March 2025 at 32,264 miles, 28 February 2024 at 30,759 miles, 6 March 2023 at 29,099 miles and 9 March 2022 at 27,206 miles each achieved passes with zero advisories. The absence of any recurring mechanical or structural flags across four consecutive years demonstrates consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileages reveal a low-use pattern for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,935 miles per year. The increments between tests stay modest and linear: 1,893 miles added by March 2023, 1,660 by February 2024, 1,505 by March 2025, then 2,959 by March 2026. No test gaps appear; the keeper adhered to annual testing every spring. Such a sparse and clean history suggests gentle commuting or periodic storage rather than high-load driving, and the lack of advisories indicates previous owners rectified wear before each examination. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-related components that MOT passes do not always expose. Low mileage coupled with likely standing periods can conceal degraded suspension bushes, corroded coil springs, or binding brake calipers from inactivity. The tester noted no structural integrity concerns, yet underbody corrosion may develop on a 2014 chassis if washing or underseal was neglected. Examine brake discs for surface rust pitting and check tyre sidewalls for cracking despite legal tread. The unbroken pass record implies conscientious ownership, but verify service invoices to confirm fluid changes and cambelt intervals. Given the clean DVSA data, mechanical risk remains low; focus physical checks on rubber perishables and chassis condition rather than drivetrain faults.
