Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution. The comple

Your first priority must be to request physical service records and a printed MOT history from the seller. Because no digital records are available for WR62CBF, you cannot verify if the car has been tested regularly or if it has a history of failures. Do not rely on a verbal assurance of its condition.

If you proceed, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential. Focus on the areas where this model frequently fails in aggregate data, such as the exhaust system, headlamps, and coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle, also check for any signs of corrosion or significant wear that might not have been captured in a recent test.

The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine variant is typically moderate, suitable for small-to-medium budgets.

Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are usually manageable due to the high availability of parts. However, without MOT data, you cannot predict if immediate repairs will be required for common failure points like springs or lighting. An estimated annual running cost for a vehicle of this age and specification is typically in the range of £1,200-£1,500, depending on mileage and insurance profile.

Since there is no MOT history to guide you, you must perform a thorough manual inspection. Specifically, check the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as this is a top failure reason for this model. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, heavy corrosion, or loose mounting points.

Additionally, examine the suspension components, particularly the coil springs, for any signs of snapping or excessive wear. Given the vehicle's age, check all exterior lighting and ensure the tyres have adequate tread and no structural damage, as these are common areas of non-compliance.

This white 2012 Ford Fiesta features a 1.2L petrol engine, but there is no available MOT history to verify its past compliance or roadworthiness. While the model is a common sight on UK roads, the lack of recorded testing data means its current mechanical state is entirely unknown. Without a digital paper trail, buyers cannot assess if this specific vehicle has suffered from common issues like exhaust or suspension failures.

Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
