2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SD64 HTJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 19 September 2025 at 26,629 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was recorded briefly on 16 September 2024 at 25,902 miles, the subsequent pass just one day later suggests a minor defect was identified and immediately rectified by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,219 miles per year. Data from September 2022 at 24,007 miles to September 2025 at 26,629 miles shows a consistent, slow rate of accumulation. This suggests the car has been used for short trips or sat for extended periods. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of issues associated with age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by the MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-related rather than mileage-related wear. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to oxidation. The suspension bushes and tyres should be examined for cracking or perish, as rubber loses elasticity over a decade regardless of distance driven. Additionally, inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system to ensure that the low mileage has not masked environmental damage from moisture or storage.
