2014 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YM14 XPG

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a corrective period. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 116,837 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were addressed and that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards for operation on public roads. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a Fiesta, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over its twelve years. There is a significant spike in usage between September 2023 and October 2024, where the car covered over 17,000 miles in thirteen months. This rapid accumulation likely placed increased stress on wear components compared to the previous year, which saw only 4,500ish miles driven. However, the clean record following this high mileage period suggests the vehicle handled the load without mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the steering system, as the September 2024 test at 90,942 miles flagged offside play in the steering rack inner joints. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, a buyer should check for any remaining play or steering noises to ensure the component was fully replaced rather than merely adjusted. The nearside rear tyre damage noted in that same period should also be verified for tread depth and to ensure no sidewall damage occurred to the rim.
