2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BG62 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean history of passes in its most recent inspections. The last recorded test on 16 June 2022 at 41,271 miles showed no defects, mirroring the clean results from the January 2022 and February 2021 tests. This consistency suggests a period of reliable operation without recurring mechanical failures or structural issues being flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 2,948 miles per year. The records show a steady, gradual increase from 17,115 miles in December 2014 to 41,271 miles in June 2022. While the low usage indicates light mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension, the significant gaps between tests and the low annual mileage suggest the vehicle may spend long periods stationary. This pattern can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The only recorded failure occurred on 19 February 2015 at 17,233 miles, where the vehicle failed due to both nearside and offside front tyre tread depths falling below the 1.6mm legal limit. This failure was immediately rectified, as the vehicle passed the subsequent test on 20 February 2015. Aside from this minor consumable issue, the MOT history remains devoid of advisories regarding corrosion, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions. A prospective buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. Check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking and inspect the braking system for binding or corrosion on the discs. Given the low mileage, verifying the service history for oil changes and fluid replacements is essential, as infrequent use often results in neglected lubrication despite low mechanical wear.
