2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EK62 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-12 at 89,930 miles resulted in a pass, with no defects recorded. However, a prior test on 2026-01-08 at the same mileage failed without any defects noted, suggesting a procedural anomaly or incomplete assessment. Subsequent tests from 2024-01-11 (85,198 miles) and 2025-01-10 (85,483 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record in the preceding years. The lack of recorded issues in recent tests implies the car has been well-maintained, though the January 2026 failure without explanation warrants caution. The vehicle’s mileage of 89,930 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 6,424 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable jump from 85,182 miles (2024-01-05) to 89,930 miles (2026-01-12) suggests a significant increase in usage over 22 months, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. The absence of defects in earlier tests implies consistent upkeep, but the recent mileage surge may mask underlying issues requiring closer inspection. Buyers should prioritise checking for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, as well as inspecting brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be assessed for age-related degradation, given the vehicle’s 14-year lifespan. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection, as the January 2026 failure without details raises questions about potential unresolved issues.
