2022 Ford Fiesta Active Vignale T MHEV

CarHunch analysed 241 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Fiesta Active Vignale T MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Fiesta Active is performing well above the UK average, with a 95.5% first-time pass rate versus the national 80% benchmark—a strong signal of early reliability. Only 1.7% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect, which is reassuring for a buyer concerned about safety-critical issues.

At 16,230 miles average, this cohort is showing typical mileage for a two-year-old car, and the 0.09 failures and 0.5 advisories per vehicle suggest minimal wear problems so far. Before buying, request the full MOT history to confirm whether that low advisory count reflects genuinely light use or simply straightforward maintenance—either way, these cars are starting their lives on the right foot.

What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Fiesta Active Vignale T MHEV

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.
