2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FT12 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection in February 2026 at 120,222 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the mechanical integrity of the Fiesta has remained well-managed without recurring major structural failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 12,000 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by another 12,000 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. The brief failure in January 2024 at 97,781 miles occurred just two days before a successful re-test, suggesting a minor adjustment or consumable-related defect that was rectified immediately without impacting the annual schedule. Despite the clean records in recent tests, a buyer should focus on high-mileage components common to this era of Ford Fiesta. At 120,000 miles, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often show significant wear at this distance. The buyer should also check the brake discs for thinning and signs of corrosion, as the MOT only tests for functional efficiency rather than the remaining life of the components.
