2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CA12 HCZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 126,618 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car is currently meeting the minimum legal standards. While the vehicle failed a test in July 2023, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed and rectified the faults promptly rather than allowing them to persist between annual. At 126,618 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year over its fourteen, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns with roughly 6,600 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 6,300 miles between 2023 and 2024. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent seals degradation and brake fluid contamination. Despite the clean recent MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear on high-mileage Fords. Given the mileage, the suspension system should be checked for perished rubber bushes and signs of play or leaking in the shock absorbers. The buyer should also inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as MOT tests only flag significant structural rust once it reaches a critical threshold. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or binding calipers is also advisable to ensure the recent clean passes reflect genuine mechanical health.
