2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FJ12 TMX

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 26 August 2025 at 104,617 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage, indicating the vehicle has cleared every successful test without flagged wear to brakes, suspension, steering, or structure. Mileage sits at 104,617 against a 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 7,473 miles per year and matching typical use for this model age. The records trace a steady climb: 98,726 miles in August 2023, 102,033 at the August 2024 failure, and 104,613 at the August 2025 failure before the same-day passes. No gap exceeds thirteen months, so the car has seen consistent annual use rather than long dormant periods. Both failures on 13 August 2024 and 26 August 2025 occurred at marginally lower mileages than the passes logged the same day, with no defects recorded in either case. This pattern points to administrative or documentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection, not a sign of neglected consumables or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Fiesta wear points not captured by a clean MOT: front suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and underbody corrosion around sills and subframes. The absence of advisories across three years means tyre tread, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions met limits, but a 104k-mile hatchback warrants a check of clutch wear and drivetrain mounts before purchase.
