2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PX14 WJL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 95,991 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one week prior. That failure highlighted significant electronic issues, including an inoperative engine management light and a failed lambda sensor, alongside mechanical faults like an exhaust leak. The presence of corrosion on both front Macpherson struts in the latest test indicates that structural components are beginning to age and require close monitoring. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is steady accumulation of mileage between 2017 at 14,350 miles and 2025 at 95,991 miles. However, the frequency of failures suggests that the owner often waits until components reach a marginal or illegal state before addressing them. For instance, tyres frequently fell below legal limits in both 2020 and 2021, indicating a pattern of neglecting basic consumable items between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The recurring reports of pitted and scored brake discs between 2019 and 2020 suggest the braking components may be prone to corrosion from lack of use. Furthermore, the corrosion noted on the front Macpherson struts and the rear coil springs in 2024 and 2025 suggests the underbody is susceptible to rust. The buyer should verify that the oil leak noted in 2024 has been rectified and check the exhaust system for any further leaks following the 2025 back box clamp repair.
