2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · PO64 VGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 107,218 miles showed an initial failure due to basic lighting issues and tyre wear. While the car passed upon immediate re-test, the presence of a binding nearside rear brake and worn-edge front tyres suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults once they reach the point of mechanical failure or legal threshold. At 107,218 miles over twelve years, the Fiesta averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback of this age. The record shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,500 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 7,000 miles covered in the year following. This steady mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the cumulative mileage places standard wear on rubber-to-metal suspension components and the braking system. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system and front geometry. The September 2024 test flagged corroded brake pipes covered in grease, which often indicates an attempt to mask surface rust or minor fluid leaks. Furthermore, the recurring mention of worn suspension arm bushes and a binding rear service brake suggests that the suspension assembly is nearing the end of its service life. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the exhaust system, as a major back box leak was recorded in 2023, indicating these components are prone to rapid degradation on this example.
