2022 Ford Fiesta Active X Ed Trbo MHEV A

CarHunch analysed 103 real MOT records for the 2022 Ford Fiesta Active X Ed Trbo MHEV A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2022 Ford Fiesta Active X is a genuinely reliable proposition, with a 95.6% first-time pass rate that sits well clear of the UK average of 80%—and a negligible 2.9% dangerous defect rate means safety issues are rare. You're looking at a car that passes its MOT with minimal fuss.

The median mileage of 13,784 miles is right where you'd expect for a two-year-old Fiesta, and the 0.07 average failures per vehicle suggests mechanicals stay solid; the 0.8 advisories per car are mostly minor wear items rather than red flags. If you're shopping for one, run a pre-purchase inspection on suspension and exhaust components—the usual aging points on small cars—but this data says the engine and gearbox will likely be sound.

What to check before buying a 2022 Ford Fiesta Active X Ed Trbo MHEV A

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.
