2022 Ford Fiesta Active Turbo MHEV Auto

CarHunch analysed 143 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Fiesta Active Turbo MHEV Auto. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Ford Fiesta Active Turbo MHEV Auto is unusually reliable, with a 94.3% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and only 7.7% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is comfortably low. This petrol-only model (142 of 143 cars) achieves consistent results across the board.

At a median mileage of just 11,662 miles, these cars are still very young, so the low failure rate of 0.09 per vehicle reflects normal early-life condition rather than long-term durability. The modest 0.4 advisories per vehicle suggests minimal wear items coming due, but when you're checking one out, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection on the hybrid electrical system and battery health—the MHEV tech is less proven than conventional engines, and that's where unexpected costs tend to hide.

What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Fiesta Active Turbo MHEV Auto

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
