2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FT12 ADO

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2026-04-01 confirming no defects at 110,925 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent passing results, with no recorded failures or advisories. The absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests effective maintenance, though the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant scrutiny of components prone to gradual wear. No recurring issues were flagged across the six-year history, indicating no worsening trends in critical systems. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,923 miles annually. Tests were conducted at regular intervals, with the longest gap between 2022-10-07 (91,907 miles) and 2023-10-05 (97,667 miles), a 12-month span reflecting standard servicing patterns. A duplicate entry for a failed test on 2023-10-05 at the same mileage as a passed test appears anomalous, though no defects were recorded in either case. The clean MOT history suggests minimal structural or mechanical degradation, though the vehicle’s age necessitates closer examination of high-mileage components. A buyer should prioritize inspecting suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these often degrade over time without immediate warning. The exhaust system and corrosion-prone areas, such as underbody panels, should also be checked for fatigue. While no advisories were logged, the vehicle’s 110,925-mile total implies potential fatigue in load-bearing parts. The lack of recurring issues in the MOT record indicates responsible upkeep, but physical verification of wear on brakes, suspension, and exhaust is essential to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
