2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MW12 UAV

The most recent 2026‑06‑18 test recorded a failure for a fractured near side front coil spring, indicating that the vehicle is not presently roadworthy despite a pass on the same day, and the repeated mechanical issues point to a worsening maintenance trend. The mileage record shows a steady increase from 63,028 miles in June 2020 to 90,036 miles by June 2026, averaging about 6,431 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 14‑year‑old car; the only notable acceleration occurs between the June 2024 and June 2026 tests, where an additional 9,281 miles were logged over 25 months, suggesting periods of reduced use followed by more active driving. A buyer should inspect the front coil springs for cracks or fatigue, verify that the front brake discs and pads are within service limits, check for binding in the rear brakes, confirm the presence and condition of the exhaust shield, and examine the rear shock absorbers for fluid leaks and overall structural integrity.
