2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · M11 WBT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test conducted on 8 January 2026 at 80,876 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a preliminary failure on the same date with no defects listed, this likely indicates an administrative error or a re-test requirement that was immediately rectified, as the subsequent pass confirmed the vehicle met standards. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,777 miles annually. Data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 60,481 miles in December 2022 to 80,876 miles in January 2026. This consistent interval suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which is often beneficial for the condition of engine seals and braking components. However, low-mileage vehicles of this age can still suffer from degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that is not captured by a standard MOT test. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical advisories or failures, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age-related wear. A buyer must examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these perish over time regardless of mileage. Checking the brake discs for surface oxidation or deep pitting is also vital, as low-use cars often see brakes rust from lack of friction. Additionally, inspecting the structural integrity of the sills and exhaust mounting is essential to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed over the vehicle's long life.
