2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FT12 ACJ

The 2012 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-07 at 123,875 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the vehicle experienced two consecutive failures on 2026-04-06 at 123,865 miles and a prior failure on 2026-03-27 at 123,800 miles, both with no defects noted. These results suggest a potential inconsistency in testing or minor issues resolved between tests, but no critical mechanical or structural faults were flagged in the latest assessment. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 116,521 miles recorded in 2025-03-12 and 123,875 miles by 2026-04-07, reflecting an average of 8,848 miles annually. A notable jump of 7,354 miles occurred between March 2025 and March 2026, which aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age. The recent tests at 123,865 and 123,875 miles indicate minimal incremental wear, with no evidence of rapid deterioration in the final 100 miles. While the MOT history lacks specific mechanical or structural issues, the repeated failures without defects imply potential oversights in prior inspections. A buyer should verify the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear, as these components often degrade over time. Inspecting the exhaust system for corrosion and checking the vehicle’s body for rust, particularly around door sills and under the chassis, would also be prudent. The absence of advisories in the latest test is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age and mileage warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
