2014 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · NJ64 LRK

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness record over the past two years, with no defects recorded in any of its five MOT tests since October 2023. The most recent entries—both from October 2025 at 123,582 miles—show a clean pass and an identical failed test on the same date, though neither revealed any mechanical issues. This consistency suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained or has simply avoided developing major faults within the MOT’s testing parameters. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests implies no recurring problems with suspension components, brake systems, or structural integrity, which would typically be flagged if deterioration were present. The mileage accumulation of 123,582 miles over roughly 12 years aligns closely with the average annual mileage for its age, averaging around 10,300 miles per year. The gaps between tests are standard, with the last two entries both dated October 2025, indicating the vehicle has been driven consistently without sudden spikes in usage. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern—no unusually rapid increases that might suggest neglect or aggressive driving, nor are there prolonged periods of inactivity that could imply storage-related wear. The data is sparse in terms of defects, but the steady mileage suggests the Fiesta has been used regularly without extreme conditions accelerating wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still conduct a thorough pre-purchase inspection, focusing on components that often develop silent failures beyond MOT thresholds. Pay particular attention to the suspension—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and rubber bushes—since these can degrade without immediate visual signs. The brake system, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, even though no MOT defects were recorded. Structural integrity remains a priority; inspect for surface rust along the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, as well as any signs of previous repairs that might indicate past corrosion damage. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
