Description
Ford Fiesta 1.0 Zetec 2014 (14 plate), 5 door, manual - 51,225 miles - Cat N
Low mileage Fiesta with a fresh MOT (passed 22 August 2026, valid until August 2027).
ABOUT THE CAT N
The car is recorded as Cat N (non-structural damage) from April 2024. I bought it after that, mainly to learn to drive and pass my driving test, so it has been used very lightly. I don't have the insurer's details of the original damage, so I'm being upfront about that.
What I can tell you: the only marks on the car are a few light scratches on the two front wings and a little on the driver's door. No dents. You are very welcome to inspect it in person or bring a mechanic.
ABOUT THE MILEAGE
A history check will show a "mileage drop" in 2024. The two DVLA figures (48,000 and 49,000) are round numbers recorded when the car was written off and changed hands, so they look like estimates rather than real readings. The actual MOT readings go up steadily every year:
2022: 40,899
2023: 44,741
2024: 47,801
2025: 49,755
2026: 50,219
The full MOT history is public on the gov.uk website.
