2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SC12 VUR

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 20 March 2026 at 158,107 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern over the last three years, suggesting the car is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the vehicle. Between the April 2024 test at 155,964 miles and the March 2026 test at 158,107 miles, the car covered 2,143 miles over approximately two years. This represents a significant drop in annual usage compared to the overall lifetime average of 11,293 miles per year. Such a low recent usage rate can sometimes lead to issues with battery health or perished rubber components due to inactivity. The MOT record is unusually clean for a fourteen year old vehicle with high mileage. There are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks across the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. While the absence of flagged defects is positive, it is rare for a car of this age to show zero wear on consumables or structural integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads for wear and inspect the underbody for surface corrosion. Given the low mileage covered since 2024, verify that the engine oil is fresh and the battery holds a strong charge to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from prolonged standing.
