2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RJ14 XOA

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT on 2026-01-31, indicating that the system is functioning, but this is a single test that does not capture the full picture of the vehicle's reliability or maintenance history. The most recent test was on 2026-01-31, which was passed at 89,968 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained well enough for this specific test date. However, the history reveals a significant gap between the 2026 test and the 2025-01-31 test, meaning the vehicle has not been inspected since approximately 2025-01-31. This missing inspection suggests a potential lack of maintenance between the two dates, which could introduce wear or damage to the car that was not detected during the 2026 test. The mileage trend indicates that the vehicle has experienced rapid accumulation of miles since the 2025-01-31 test, reaching 83,161 miles on that date. This rapid rate of mileage accumulation is concerning given that the car was approximately 12 years old at the time of the most recent test. The gap between the 2026 and 2025 tests suggests that the vehicle may have been driven less frequently or maintained less closely between the two dates, leading to the accumulation of wear on components such as brakes, suspension, and drivetrain parts. While the 2026 test passed at 89,968 miles, the subsequent tests in 2025 and 2024 failed at lower mileage levels, implying that the vehicle has been subject to wear and tear that has not been addressed or repaired. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for recurring faults or structural/mechanical risks based on the maintenance history. The most critical issues flagged include binding rear brakes, which is a serious mechanical risk that could indicate worn brake pads or binding calipers, and a history of failing on the rear sub-frame pin or bushings, which suggests structural integrity issues in the rear suspension. Additionally, the 2025-01-31 test failed on the stop lamps, indicating that these components are not working, and the 2024-02-06 test failed on the rear beam axle bushes, which are part of the suspension structure. These recurring faults suggest that the vehicle has not undergone a full comprehensive inspection, and the buyer must verify the condition of these specific components before purchasing.
