2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YP62 ADO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass on 17 October 2025 at 122,166 miles. While the record shows two instances of initial test failures followed by immediate passes on the same day in 2023 and 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests these were likely administrative or minor procedural issues rather than mechanical failures. The current status indicates that the vehicle has maintained compliance with DVSA standards without any recurring technical advisories or component failures over the last three years of testing. The recorded mileage of 122,166 miles over a 14-year lifespan equates to an average of approximately 8,700 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The annual testing cadence remains regular, with intervals consistently occurring in October. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history, confirming that the vehicle has remained in active service and has not been subjected to extended periods of storage, which often leads to issues with seized brake components or perished rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical items that are not always captured by the MOT pass criteria. Given the age and mileage, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these components often exhibit fatigue at this stage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for corrosion or potential leaks. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a thorough check of the engine bay for fluid leaks and an assessment of the clutch biting point will provide a clearer picture of the vehicle's long-term mechanical health.
