2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · SW61 ACZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 8 October 2025 at 87,741 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the car passed its most recent inspections, the pattern of failing an initial test before passing shortly thereafter in both 2024 and 2025 suggests a recurring administrative or minor technical hurdle rather than a failure of structural integrity. The absence of recorded advisories across the last three years implies that major mechanical components have not required significant intervention during recent annual assessments. The recorded mileage of 87,741 over fourteen years averages approximately 6,267 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent, incremental usage patterns between September 2023 and October 2025, with roughly 15,000 miles added during that two-year window. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized calipers or degraded rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension components and the braking system, as these areas often show wear that may not be captured in a clean MOT pass. Given the age of the chassis, check the subframe and sills for signs of surface corrosion or previous repairs, as these are common failure points for this model. Since the MOT history lacks specific advisory notes, verify the current state of the tyres, brake pads, and discs, as these consumable items may be nearing the end of their service life despite the clean test record.
