2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ST62 HDX

The May 23 2025 MOT at 38,847 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend, as each subsequent test since 2022 has also passed without recorded faults, aside from a July 4 2023 failure that listed no defects. The mileage profile reflects light use for a 14‑year‑old Fiesta, averaging about 2,800 miles per year, and the interval between the 2022 July 14 test at 31,737 miles and the 2025 May 23 test shows a steady increase of roughly 1,850 miles annually, with no extended periods of inactivity evident in the yearly testing schedule. Although no defects were logged, the 2023 failure suggests that the tester may have identified a non‑visible issue such as a binding rear brake caliper or worn suspension bushes, and the absence of recorded corrosion or structural advisories does not guarantee the absence of hidden rust on the chassis or exhaust components. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the rear brake calipers for binding, examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the integrity of the brake discs and pads, check for any rust on the structural frame and underbody, and assess tyre tread depth and overall tyre condition, as these items are the most likely sources of recurring faults indicated by the test history.
