240hp 240,000 Miles: Ford Fiesta ST - Hot Take

Today we take a drive in a 240,000 mile 2014 Ford Fiesta ST. Yes, 240,000 miles. Today we answer: Is it better than stock? How did it hold up? And should you buy it?

Score note: When scoring "should you buy it" we ignored the mileage. If I were looking at one with over 200,000 miles I would be weary knowing that the engine could be ready to let loose. But if it was purchased cheap enough engines are plentiful and it could still be a solid purchase.
