2012 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 25 November 2025 at 23,080 miles, approximately seven months before the present date of 16 July 2026, where the tester issued a pass with no defects or advisories. Maintenance trend across the available history remains entirely stable, with five consecutive annual examinations from November 2021 through November 2025 each returning a fault-free result. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring faults requiring attention. Mileage accumulation reflects exceptionally light use for a fourteen-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 19,687 miles at the 18 November 2021 test to 23,080 miles by 25 November 2025, a total increase of 3,393 miles over four years, equating to roughly 848 miles per annum against the longer-term average of 1,649 miles per year. No gaps exist in the testing record and the clean passes at each interval indicate the previous keeper maintained statutory inspections punctually. Such low annual coverage suggests prolonged periods of standing rather than frequent short journeys. Despite the unblemished MOT ledger, a buyer should physically inspect key age-sensitive components that static storage can degrade. The tester noted no corrosion or structural integrity issues at the November 2025 examination, yet suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake caliper operation warrant hands-on verification for perishing or binding after years of disuse. Examine brake discs for surface pitting and check exhaust mountings for rubber fatigue. Previous owners clearly adhered to basic statutory maintenance, as evidenced by five straight passes without advisory flags on tyres, wipers, or emissions. Low mileage does not exempt the Fiesta from time-related wear. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid conditions and look beneath sills for incipient rust that a visual MOT check might miss on a dry-day test.
