2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RO14 LVA

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with no defects or advisories noted across five consecutive tests. This stability is evidenced by the most recent pass on 27 March 2026, following a pattern of clean certificates that includes a brief failure and immediate rectification in March 2025. The recorded mileage of 154,169 miles is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,847 miles per year. Such an accumulation rate indicates heavy usage, which typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components, engine mounts, and suspension linkages beyond that of a low-mileage equivalent. Given the high mileage and the absence of recent advisories, a test drive should focus on the physical condition of high-wear components. Listen for knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate worn suspension bushes or drop links. Check for any shuddering during acceleration or a lack of crispness in gear changes, as the drivetrain has covered significant distance. Attention should also be paid to the braking system and steering precision. Feel for any vibration through the steering wheel during braking or a pull to one side, which may suggest uneven disc wear or alignment issues common in high-mileage vehicles. Ensure the clutch take-up point is not excessively high, as this is a primary wear point for vehicles with this level of usage.
