2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SB63 ACO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-11 at 107,324 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the prior test on 2026-03-10 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This suggests potential administrative or procedural discrepancies, as identical mileage and dates imply repeated testing without resolution. Earlier tests in 2025 and 2024 also showed a pattern of alternating passes and failures at matching mileages, indicating inconsistent enforcement or unaddressed minor faults. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clarity, with no definitive evidence of recurring mechanical issues or improvements. The vehicle’s mileage of 107,324 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 8,944 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable jump from 79,544 miles in 2024 to 94,088 miles in 2025 reflects a 14,544-mile increase in one year, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOT testing. Subsequent growth to 107,324 miles by 2026 suggests steady but unremarkable wear. The MOT record lacks detailed defect reports, leaving no clear indication of structural corrosion, brake wear, or suspension degradation. This absence of specific findings implies either meticulous maintenance or limited diagnostic depth in the recorded tests. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as unrecorded faults may have contributed to the 2026 failure. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could affect safety. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. Despite the MOT’s clean record, the repeated testing at identical mileages underscores the need for a hands-on assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond official documentation.
