2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CA62 AAO

The 2012 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-11-11 MOT at 92,141 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a 2023-11-24 test at 77,972 miles shows a failure with no recorded defects, raising questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in later tests implies the vehicle has remained serviceable, but the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny for underlying issues not documented. The vehicle’s mileage of 92,141 miles over 14 years aligns with an average of 6,582 miles annually, reflecting typical usage for its age. Tests are spaced consistently, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2023-11-24 failure occurred at the same mileage as a subsequent pass, complicating interpretation. While the record lacks detailed defect notes, the absence of structural corrosion or major mechanical failures in recent tests suggests the owner prioritized basic upkeep. A buyer should inspect the suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. The 2023 failure, though unexplained, may hint at intermittent issues requiring closer examination. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as older vehicles often experience gradual degradation. Structural integrity should also be verified, as rust or corrosion could affect safety despite no recorded issues. The MOT history indicates reliability but underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
