2012 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 29 November 2025. This test at 98,732 miles showed no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum standards for road use. While a failure occurred on 28 November 2024, the immediate re-test the following day suggests a specific, minor issue that was rectified quickly rather than a systemic neglect of mechanical maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 5,674 miles, followed by a larger increase of 11,733 miles between late 2023 and late 2024. This recent accumulation suggests the vehicle is being used more regularly, which generally helps prevent internal components like seals and suspension joints from seizing due to corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest tests, a buyer should still focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this generation of Fiesta. At this age and mileage, I recommend checking the integrity of the suspension bushes and the condition of the coil springs for signs of fracturing. You should also inspect the brake discs for excessive pitting or thinning and check the rubberার boots for cracking, as the MOT record does not capture the gradual degradation of these components between annual tests.
