2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · PO10 UGH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test on 30 October 2025 at 168,842 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a consistent pattern of failure followed immediately by a pass on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified defects to maintain legal compliance, rather than allowing faults to accumulate into long-term mechanical failures. At 14 years old with 168,842 recorded miles, this Ford Fiesta has covered an average of approximately 12,000 miles per year, which exceeds the national average for a small hatchback. The data shows significant annual use, particularly noting the 19,484 miles driven between the November 2023 test (135,419 miles) and the November 2024 test (154,903 miles). This high mileage profile places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which typically reach the end of their service life at this interval. While the most recent test recorded no active defects, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-frequency wear-related areas. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Fiesta. Given the age and distance covered, thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches is essential to ensure the integrity of the chassis has not been compromised by years of exposure to the elements.
