2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EY62 OSZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on November 4, 2024 at 138,980 miles. While the record shows a pattern of immediate failures on the same day as previous tests, the car consistently achieves passes thereafter with no defects recorded. This suggests that the previous owner is responsive to testing results and rectifies issues immediately to maintain legal compliance, though the recurring failures indicate a reactive approach to maintenance rather than a preventative overhaul strategy. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2023, the car covered 4,822 miles, followed by another 6,317 miles in the year leading up to the 2024 test. This steady usage suggests the engine is not subjected to extreme stress or long periods of stagnation, which often benefits the seals and rubber components. The time-intervals between tests remain regular, providing a reliable data set for the vehicle's mechanical history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to fail at the 140,000-mile mark. Given the lack of advisories in the most recent pass, the structural integrity appears sound, but a close look at the underside for surface corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust mounting is still prudent. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these are common points of wear on Fiestas. Because the mileage is high, verifying the condition of the brake discs and checking for any fluid leaks around the gearbox will ensure the drivetrain is not nearing a terminal failure.
