2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · OD03 CON

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent inspection on 14 August 2025 at 92,505 miles. Despite a failure just eight days prior at 92,474 miles, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the specific issues identified by the tester. The trend suggests a proactive approach to maintaining compliance, as the car shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural degradation that would indicate a history of neglected repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 5,184 miles, while it saw a higher increase of 15,917 miles between the August 2024 and 2025 tests. This spike in usage during the final year explains the accelerated wear on consumable components, but the overall figure remains low enough that the drivetrain and engine have not suffered from excessive strain or deferred maintenance due to long periods of standing. A buyer should focus on the specific reasons for the failures in August 2024 and August 2025 to ensure the underlying issues were fully rectified. While the record does not list the specific defect codes, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines is advisable as these are common failure points on this model. Given the vehicle's age, checking for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also necessary to confirm that the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT history.
