2012 FORD FIESTA1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a stable maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on March 5 2026 at 76,085 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure on the same day, which suggests a minor or singular defect that was rectified immediately prior to the re-test. Since the October 2022 test, the car has consistently passed without any recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and attention to safety standards. At 76,085 miles, this 14-year-old Fiesta shows significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,435 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, with 5,944 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 5,164 miles between February 2025 and March 2026. This low frequency of use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can occasionally lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or corrosion on brake braking surfaces due to long periods of relative inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related failure rather than high-mileage wear. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for surface corrosion, as these parts perish regardless of distance driven. Examine the brake discs for pitting or thinning, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust buildup between drives. While the clean MOT history suggests sound structural integrity, a manual check of the sills and hidden rust remains necessary to ensure the chassis remains robust for future years.
