2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SB64 ABK

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the 24 April 2026 MOT at 111 372 miles, but the test flagged front tyre tread at the legal minimum and front brake discs showing wear and scoring. Earlier failures for ball‑joint play and suspension component wear have not re‑appeared, indicating those issues were remedied; however, tyre and brake wear continue to surface, suggesting a stable but consumable‑driven maintenance pattern. Mileage averages roughly 9 300 miles per year, which is typical for a 2014 model. Between the 12 January 2023 test (94 700 miles) and the 7 June 2024 test (95 571 miles) the car logged only 871 miles, implying a period of very low use. Conversely, the interval from 7 June 2024 to 24 April 2026 saw an increase of 15 801 miles, reflecting a more intensive usage phase. No prolonged gaps or abrupt mileage spikes are evident beyond these normal fluctuations. A prospective buyer should verify front tyre tread depth on both sides and inspect sidewalls for cracking or bulging, as repeated advisories point to tyre degradation. Examine the front brake discs for scoring and ensure pads are not excessively thin; the recurring disc wear suggests they may soon require replacement. Check the front brake pipes for proper clipping and the wheel rims for distortion, particularly the nearside front wheel noted as slightly distorted in 2024. Inspect the track rod ends and ball joints for any play, even though they have not been flagged recently, and confirm that the headlamp aim is correct and the nearside front seat‑belt retractor functions smoothly. A visual assessment for corrosion on suspension bushes and any signs of structural rust will complete the due‑diligence.
