FORD FIESTA2012 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 21 May 2025 at 114,742 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 8,196 miles per year. The distance covered between the May 2023 test at 104,894 miles and the May 2025 test at 114,742 miles shows a steady usage rate of approximately 4,900 miles per annum over the last two years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The MOT history is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle, showing no advisories for common age related issues such as suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. While the record shows failures on 11 May 2024 and 21 May 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues rectified immediately. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the coil springs and the presence of any structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as these often develop gradually. Verify the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacement, as the MOT record only confirms roadworthiness and not the internal health of the engine or drivetrain.
