2012 FORD FIESTA1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 16 May 2025 with 138,842 miles. While a failure was recorded just four days prior at 138,771 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that failure suggests either an administrative error or a minor non-mechanical issue that was immediately rectified. Since May 2022, the car has secured clean passes without any recorded advisories, indicating that the owner has maintained the mechanical integrity of the vehicle over the last three years. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,900 miles per year. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 99,054 miles in May 2022 to 138,842 miles in May 2025. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to perished seals or seized components. The intervals between tests remain strictly at annual intervals, reflecting a disciplined approach to legal compliance that aligns with the vehicle's age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear items that are not captured by the MOT test. At nearly 140,000 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for signs of fatigue or leakage. Given the consistent history, the structural integrity likely remains sound, but the age of the vehicle increases rubber degradation. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a thorough check of the chassis and underside sills remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed between the annual inspections.
