2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YR12 MKA

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of emerging mechanical issues, moving from a clean record in 2024 to specific advisories in 2025. While the 2026 result indicates the vehicle met minimum standards at that time, the previous year's report highlighted issues that may require monitoring. The recorded mileage of 43,551 miles is low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 3,111 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the documented tests. The absence of significant mileage jumps between the 2022 and 2026 inspections suggests the vehicle has been driven infrequently. The 2025 test on 20 March 2025 introduced advisories regarding an oil leak and worn sub-frame pins or bushes on both the nearside and offside rear. Although the tester noted the sub-frame wear did not result in excessive movement, these components are structural and subject to degradation. A buyer should inspect the engine bay for the extent of the oil leak and check the rear suspension mounting points for increased play or movement. The 2022 record also flagged perishing or cracking on all four tyres, which often occurs when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection of the current tyre sidewalls and the condition of rubber seals and hoses is necessary to ensure that age-related deterioration has not superseded wear-related issues. buying_score: 62 risk_level: Medium.
