2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RD07 AMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 69,669 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained to a functional standard without any recurring major failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a significant spike in usage between December 2024 and January 2026, where the car covered 8,657 miles in just thirteen months. Prior to this, the vehicle saw much lower activity, with only 3,000 miles recorded between January 2023 and January 2024. This low-frequency usage often means less wear on the drivetrain but can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake hardware due to extended stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage issues. While the MOT record is clean, the tester should check for seized brake calipers or perished rubber hoses which frequently occur when a car sits for long periods. Given the age of the Fiesta, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and structural integrity for surface rust on the underside is essential, as these issues develop regardless of low mileage. The failure recorded in January 2024 at 58,029 miles was resolved quickly, as the vehicle passed just two miles later, but the specific cause of that failure remains unstated in the provided data.
