2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · NX14 LRU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in March 2026 at 56,182 miles identified deteriorating condition in the front braking system, specifically worn and pitted discs alongside thin pads. This follows a clean record in 2025 and early 2024, indicating that components are now reaching the end of their functional life after years of use. At 56,182 miles, this 2014 Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 3,373-mile gap between June 2024 and March 2026. However, the low mileage often masks the accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and fluids if the vehicle sits for long periods. The failure in June 2024 due to front tyre tread being below the legal limit suggests that the previous owner only addressed essential items upon test failure rather than at scheduled intervals. A buyer must inspect the front braking assembly to assess the extent of the pitting on the discs noted in the 2026 record, as deep corrosion can indicate the car spent significant time stationary. The recurring issues with tyre wear patterns noted in 2023 and 2024 necessitate a thorough check of the front alignment and suspension bushes to ensure no underlying faults are causing uneven tyre scrubbing. Additionally, the deteriorated rear registration plate requires immediate replacement to avoid a future failure, though it does not currently compromise safety.
