Our Verdict
A consistent example of the 1.2L Fiesta
The most critical point for negotiation and verification is the timing belt. The 2023 MOT record explicitly mentioned 'timing belt history', which often indicates that the inspector could not find evidence of the belt being changed according to the manufacturer's schedule. You must request physical receipts or invoices to confirm this work has been completed to avoid catastrophic engine failure.
Additionally, check the service history for any record of the rear coil springs being replaced, as corrosion was noted in 2023. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000, ensure that other wear-and-tear items like the clutch and brakes have been addressed recently, as these are common maintenance points for this model at this stage of its life.
The 1.242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. Insurance groups for this specific engine variant are generally low, making it an affordable option for newer drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs will likely be higher than average for a Fiesta due to the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect to budget for suspension repairs and tyre replacements, as indicated by the MOT history. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Start by inspecting the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, which was noted as having 'slight play' in the January 2026 MOT. This will likely require replacement soon to maintain safety and handling.
Carefully examine the rear coil springs for signs of heavy corrosion or fractures, as this was an advisory in 2023 and is listed as a top failure reason for the Fiesta model overall. Finally, check the condition of the auxiliary belt, which was flagged in 2023, to see if it has since been replaced.
This black 2012 Ford Fiesta has recorded 107,603 miles, which is high for its age. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, including a minor failure for headlamp aim in 2024 and several advisories in 2023 concerning tyres, coil spring corrosion, and the timing belt. The most recent test in January 2026 passed but highlighted a suspension ball joint issue.
The Ford Fiesta has a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across 1.5 million vehicles, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
