FORD FIESTA2012 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT test result. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 January 2026 at 74,400 miles returned no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 10 January 2025 at 67,517 miles, the subsequent pass just three days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues rather than allowing a fault to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with the vehicle progressing from 59,550 miles in January 2023 to 74,400 miles by early 2026. This slow rate of travel typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, though it though low-mileage vehicles of this age can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components and seals due to lack of mechanical exercise. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related wear rather than high-mileage fatigue. Although the record is clean, the low usage justifies a close check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, which can occur over time regardless of distance driven. Inspect the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as cars driven infrequently often develop surface rust on the braking surfaces. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying oxidation issues.
