2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FL12 ABF

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 13 November 2025 at 83,941 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual test from October 2023 onward resulting in a pass once minor administrative re-tests were cleared. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the official record. Recorded mileage stands at 83,941 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 5,996 miles per year. The car shows light use for its age. The gap between the October 2023 test at 71,099 miles and the November 2024 test at 77,631 miles added only 6,532 miles, and a further 6,310 miles accrued by November 2025. Low annual coverage like this often signals short urban trips or periods of standing, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. The November 2023 and November 2025 failures carry no listed defects, indicating the tester raised a non-mechanical issue such as a documentation or identification mismatch rather than a fault with brakes, suspension, or emissions. The clean pass sheets give no flagged advisories on tyres, brake discs, coil springs, or structural integrity across the record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframe, and suspension bushes given the low mileage and likely static intervals. Verify the condition of brake calipers for binding after standing, check exhaust emissions under load, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age rather than wear. The MOT alone shows no active concerns, but sparse data demands hands-on verification.
