2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BD12 WFW

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is rated as unreliable , with a clear deterioration trend evident in the MOT history. The most recent test on 2026-01-31 at 50,731 miles was a pass, but this is immediately followed by a failure on the same date, indicating an acute mechanical failure rather than a gradual decline. This pattern suggests the vehicle may be in a state of disrepair, with a significant risk of imminent breakdown that the owner must address immediately. The mileage history reveals a distinct gap between the 2025 and 2023 tests, with the 2023 inspection occurring at 33,716 miles before the 2022 record. This gap of approximately 8,000 miles between the 2025 and 2023 checks suggests the owner may have been absent or the vehicle was not regularly maintained during that interval. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2025 test, combined with the subsequent failure, indicates that the mechanical condition has deteriorated significantly over the last few years, placing the car at high risk for imminent failure. Given the recurring faults and the structural integrity issues identified, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or binding. The presence of a failing offside front tyre with structural separation or partial failure implies that the suspension system may be compromised, potentially affecting handling and safety. Similarly, the defect in the rear stop lamp and the cracked tyres require immediate repair to prevent further damage to the drivetrain and structural integrity.
