2014 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · SD14 RFO

The 2014 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 September 2025 at 149,924 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the visible history, with three consecutive annual passes and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. The only blemish is a pair of administrative failures in 2023 and 2025 where the vehicle was rejected then passed two days later at near-identical mileage, suggesting paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than underlying mechanical defects. At roughly 12 years old the car shows 149,924 miles, equating to about 12,494 miles per year, which is high for a Fiesta of this age and points to sustained commuter or high-use mileage. The odometer moved only 2,384 miles between the September 2024 test at 147,796 miles and September 2025 at 149,924 miles, a low annual figure against the longer-term average. Records are sparse before 2023, so we cannot assess wear patterns in the vehicle's first nine years, but the clean sheets from 2023 onwards imply previous owners kept consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high lifetime mileage and the age-related risk of corrosion to structural members. The twin failures with no defects logged on 23 September 2023 at 145,530 miles and 22 September 2025 at 149,914 miles warrant a check of the VOSA failure reason codes, as a rejected-then-passed turnaround often hides a minor emissions or lighting rectification done off-site. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the record, so serious structural or drivetrain risk is not evidenced by the MOT data. Given the mileage, expect imminent wear to clutch, exhaust system, and tyres, and verify service history to confirm interval replacements were made outside the test regime.
