2012 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 11 October 2025 at 83,642 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure on 10 October 2025 at 83,639 miles is anomalous as the record lists no defects against that failure, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits at 83,642 against a 14-year lifespan, equating to a low average of roughly 5,974 miles per year. The odometer moved from 72,113 on 2 December 2022 to 75,094 on 6 November 2023, then 78,643 on 31 October 2024, and 83,642 by October 2025. This steady annual increment of around 3,000 to 5,000 miles indicates gentle use with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The DVSA data itself is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories or recorded wear on consumables, suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts given the vehicle's age, as MOT records with zero advisories do not capture incipient rust or perished rubber that a tester may judge within tolerance on the day. The unexplained failure on 10 October 2025 warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason with the testing garage to rule out a logged brake or emission fault later cleared. Low mileage over long stationary periods can allow brake calipers to seize and tyres to craze, so the front discs, rear calipers, and sidewall condition deserve direct scrutiny despite the clean certificate.
