2014 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · WX64 WPF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean pass in September 2024 at 31,234 miles. This result indicates a significant improvement over the previous year in 2023, where multiple critical failures were addressed. While the history shows a period of neglect, the most recent test with no recorded defects suggests the current owner has performed the necessary repairs to bring the car back to standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent use between 2021 and 2024, with the mileage increasing from 21,248 miles to 31,234 miles over three years. This low usage pattern typically means less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long intervals between tests often correlate with age-related degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the 2023 failures despite the low odometer depth. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the tyres and related rubber components due to the previous history of structural failure. The August 2023 failure highlighted badly perished tyres with exposed cords and structural bulges, which are common symptoms of a vehicle sitting for long periods without being driven. You should check the sidewalls for further cracking or dry rot to ensure the current tyres are not aged beyond their safe life. Additionally, since the tester flagged thin brake pads in 2023, verify the remaining life of the braking system and check for uneven wear on the discs to ensure the recent replacement was fitted correctly.
