2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MT61 AAY

The 2012 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-25 confirming no defects at 68,512 miles. The prior test in 2024-06-21 also passed without issues, though a failure on 2024-06-20 at 61,696 miles recorded no defects, suggesting a potential administrative anomaly or minor non-critical issue. The absence of recurring mechanical faults across the last three tests indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2024 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm resolution. Mileage progression shows a low annual average of 4,894 miles, reflecting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The 2023-06-24 test at 51,964 miles and 2022-05-26 at 41,989 miles reveal steady, gradual increases, with no abrupt spikes. This pattern may indicate infrequent use, which could lead to component stiffness or corrosion in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The sparse defect history does not highlight structural concerns, but the low mileage raises questions about long-term wear on consumables such as tyres and fluid systems. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, which can degrade without frequent use. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as inactivity may mask early issues. The 2024 failure, though unrecorded as a defect, warrants review of service logs to confirm repairs. No structural rust or emission-related faults are noted, but the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest a need for thorough checks on drivetrain components and electrical systems prone to degradation over time.
