2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SF14 UPK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 11, 2026, 73,210 miles. However, the maintenance history reveals a volatile trend where critical failures are addressed reactively. The failure just two days prior to the latest pass at 73,207 miles highlighted multiple serious issues including steering geometry, emissions, and visibility. While the most recent test indicates these specific faults were rectified, the pattern suggests an owner who only addresses faults upon an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,339 miles between March 2025 and March 2026, contrasted against a more rapid accumulation of 5,258 miles between August 2024 and March 2025. This low annual mileage generally preserves drivetrain components but often leads to the degradation of rubber components and suspension elements, which aligns with the perished dust covers and fractured noted in the record. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and steering assembly. The record shows recurring issues with track rod ends and anti-roll bar linkages, indicating potential wear across the entire front-end geometry. The fractured offside coil spring mounting noted in August 2024 is a significant structural concern that requires close inspection for signs of further corrosion or stress cracking. Additionally, the high carbon monoxide reading recorded in March 2026 suggest the engine may be running poorly or rich, which should be verified to ensure the fuel system and catalytic converter are operating efficiently.
