2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YF14 PYA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 with 36,917 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement from a period of recurring tyre-related failures to a clean test result. While the history indicates previous neglect regarding consumable components, the most recent data suggests that the current owner has addressed the safety-critical issues identified in prior years. At twelve years old, the recorded mileage of 36,917 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. This low usage pattern often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it introduces specific risks related to age and rubber degradation. Between June 2022 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 7,274 miles over a two-year period, which explains the cracking and perishing of the tyres noted in the 2022 and 2023 records. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and the condition of the rubber components. The 2022 test at 27,747 miles flagged worn rear suspension arm pin bushes on both sides, although these did not cause a failure at that time. A buyer should check for play in the rear suspension, as bushes degrade over time regardless of low mileage. Given the history of exposed cords and perished tyres, the current set must be examined for sidewall cracking and uneven wear, as the low mileage suggests the tyres may age out before the tread wears out.
