2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AD12 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 131 827 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of a minor failure followed by a pass each year, with no defects recorded. This suggests that any issues identified were either procedural or very minor consumables that were promptly rectified. The mileage gain between successive tests is roughly 4.3 k–4.8 k miles per year, which is well below the average 9.4 k miles per year for a 14‑year‑old Fiesta. This lower accumulation points to lighter use or periods of storage. The test intervals are regular, with a fail recorded just days before the pass each year, indicating a tight inspection cycle. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, check brake calipers for binding, examine tyre tread depth and pressure, and look for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust. The age and mileage also warrant a close look at the clutch, timing belt condition, and any signs of rust around door sills and wheel arches. The recent pass and the recurring fail‑pass cycle indicate a stable condition, but the accumulated mileage and age mean that routine mechanical components deserve a hands‑on check before purchase.
