2014 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YY14 FTP

This 2014 Ford Fiesta has maintained a clean MOT history, passing all four consecutive tests without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-18 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural issues. The absence of advisories suggests previous owners adhered to basic maintenance, though this does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress areas like suspension mounts or brake calipers—which would require physical inspection. The recorded mileage of 121,154 miles over 12 years averages approximately 10,096 miles annually, a rate consistent with typical light-to-moderate usage for this model. There are no significant gaps in testing dates, and the vehicle has not exceeded 12,000 miles between MOTs since 2022, indicating regular servicing intervals. While this pattern suggests reasonable care, the lack of service records means critical fluid changes (e.g., gearbox oil, brake fluid) or component replacements (e.g., timing belt, suspension bushes) may not have been documented. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which often degrade beyond visual inspection by the age of 12 years. The brakes, though never flagged in MOTs, should be tested for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced aggressive braking. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe is also worth examining, as this model is prone to structural rust in high-salt regions. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive play, as catalytic converter failures can occur without prior warning.
