2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · SM12 YTY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 131,110 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test only to pass a re-test three days later. This suggests that minor rectifyable defects, such as bulbs, wipers, or minor sensor adjustments, were addressed only when prompted by the tester. At fourteen years old, the 131,110 miles represent an average of approximately 9,365 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,200 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which often helps prevent brake seizing and rubber degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear at this mileage, specifically the suspension bushes and coil springs. While the MOT history shows no recorded advisories in the latest tests, the age necessitates checking for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches common in Fiestas of this era. Given the recent re-tests, verifying the condition of the brake discs and pads is essential to ensure no binding issues or thinning persists beyond what caused the previous failures.
