2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YD12 ADV

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 February 2026 at 104,736 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle. It has covered approximately 5,200 miles between the March 2024 test at 93,294 miles and the February 2025 test at 99,539 miles. A further 5,197 miles were added by the February 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The MOT record is unusually clean for a fourteen year old Ford Fiesta. There are no recorded failures for common age-related issues such as suspension bush wear, coil spring fractures, or exhaust emissions. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion or brake disc thickness over the last three years is atypical for a vehicle of this vintage and mileage. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and sills to check for structural rust, as MOT testers sometimes overlook minor corrosion that does not yet constitute a failure. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus should remain on consumables. Check the current depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure they have not reached their wear limits since the February 2026 inspection.
