2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · VE63 OXC

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a worsening trend in mechanical and consumable defects. The September 2025 test resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside rear stop lamp, which was rectified for the pass. However, the tester recorded several advisories during this session, including pitted and scored offside front brake discs, brake fluctuation, and binding on the offside front. The record also flagged perishing and misshapen tyres on the rear axle. The vehicle has covered 48,061 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,005 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use. The MOT data shows a gap between the February 2024 test and the August 2024 test, followed by a significant period before the September 2025 test. Such low usage patterns can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as the tyre sidewall cracking noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The history shows recurring issues with front brake performance, specifically binding and fluctuating service brakes, alongside worn discs. The presence of perishing tyres in the 2025 advisories suggests that even with low mileage, the rubber is reaching the end of its serviceable life due to age. The suspension components require attention, as the February 2024 test flagged worn axle swivel pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear. While these were not listed as failures in later tests, they represent a known area of wear. Checking the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the brake calipers and discs is essential before purchase. buying_score: 45 risk_level: High.
