2012 FORD FIESTA1.4L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on April 2, 2026 at 159,364 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure just prior to successful testing. The car failed in March 2026 at 159,121 miles and again in March 2025 at 144,444 miles, suggesting the owner only addresses mechanical defects when prompted by an inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 159,364 miles over 14 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 11,383 miles per year, which aligns closely with national averages for a used small car. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, with roughly 15,000 miles driven between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 14,372 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regular usage indicates the drivetrain and suspension components have been subjected to consistent wear rather than long periods of stagnation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the lower chassis and suspension assembly, as high-mileage Fiestas of this era often suffer from perished bushes and spring fatigue. Given the history of failures followed by immediate passes, it is likely that components like brake liners, exhaust links, or bulbs have been replaced only upon failure. Verify the state of the brake discs for excessive corrosion and the exhaust system for structural thinning, as the high mileage increases the likelihood of these components reaching the end of their service life.
