2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ST62 AAU

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 March 2026 at 68,350 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the immediate pass indicates a minor rectification or a clerical error rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 4,882 miles per year. The distance covered between the February 2024 test at 61,214 miles and the March 2026 test at 68,350 miles shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 3,500 miles per annum over the last two years. This suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or defects flagged across the last three years of testing. The absence of recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions is unusual for a fourteen year old Fiesta. This lack of documented wear suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or very light duty cycles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may overlook, specifically structural corrosion on the sills and chassis. Given the low mileage and lack of recorded faults, checking for perished tyres or degraded brake fluid is prudent. The absence of any flagged brake disc or pad wear in the records means a manual check of the remaining friction material is necessary to confirm when the next service interval falls.
