2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BG62 XCU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 122,054 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern where the owner only addresses faults immediately following a test failure. While the September 2025 failure at 121,998 miles highlighted critical tyre wear on the rear axle, the subsequent pass just one day later indicates the tyres were replaced to bring the car to legal standards. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 122,054 miles averages to approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for this model. There is a significant jump in mileage between the July 2023 test at 69,034 miles and the August 2024 test at 91,982 miles, representing over 22,000 miles driven in a single year. This period of high usage likely accelerated the wear seen on consumable components, particularly the suspension and braking system. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and wheel geometry, as the record consistently flags uneven tyre wear. The 2023 and 2024 tests noted tyres worn on the inner edges or edges, which suggests poor alignment, worn ball joints, or failing bushings. Furthermore, the 2024 test specifically identified slight play in the offside front wheel while jacked, indicating a potentially worn control arm or steering joint that should be verified for lateral play to prevent future mechanical failure.
