2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RE62 LCL

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test on 20 August 2025 at 106,091 miles. This test passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. While the history shows instances of failure in previous years, the subsequent clean passes over the last two years suggest that any identified issues were addressed and the vehicle is currently operating in a state of functional equilibrium. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the car covered 10,698 miles, which represents a slight spike in annual usage compared to the 11,000 miles recorded between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the car is driven regularly enough to prevent the detrimental effects of dry-spotting tyres or seal degradation often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the failures recorded in August 2023 and August 2024, although the specific reasons for these failures are not detailed in the provided data. Because these failures occurred shortly before successful re-tests, they likely related to wear items or minor mechanical adjustments that were rectified immediately. Given the age and mileage of this Fiesta, a physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, alongside the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers, to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing that the MOT tester did not flag.
