2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · JG08 HOL

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 103,012 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual examinations since 2022. Mileage sat at 79,602 in May 2022 and rose to 86,623 by July 2023, then 96,707 in July 2024 and 103,012 in July 2025. That equates to roughly 7,300 miles per year, typical for a 14-year-old car. The record shows only one anomaly: a failure on 25 May 2022 at 79,602 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day at identical mileage. This suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Otherwise the history is sparse and clean, with no advisories logged across the sequence. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions given the vehicle's age and 103,012 miles of service. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but MOT tests capture only roadside-visible condition at the time. Pre-purchase checks ought to confirm there is no underlying rust at sills or subframes and that the binding calipers or tyre wear have not developed since the last test. The prior owner kept the car to a consistent annual test schedule with no skipped years, implying basic upkeep was maintained even if no workshop receipts are supplied.
