2012 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Petrol · RNZ 8061

The 2012 Ford Fiesta Zetec presents as roadworthy following a clean pass at 104,782 miles on 14 June 2025. The underlying test history shows a stable maintenance trend with no advisories or defects logged across any examination. A prior failure on 20 May 2025 at 104,441 miles recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 7,484 against the vehicle's fourteen-year life, a typical figure for this age of supermini. The records show 87,814 miles in January 2022, rising to 92,531 by May 2023, then 99,362 in April 2024 and 104,441 in May 2025. The gap between the January 2022 and May 2023 tests spans over sixteen months, suggesting the car saw limited use or delayed testing in that period. No rapid accumulation or concerning spikes appear in the data. The absence of flagged items means the MOT record offers no evidence of worn suspension bushes, corroded structural members, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and coil springs given the vehicle's age and British road salt exposure. Verify the condition of brake discs and calipers, as these wear silently between tests. Check tyre sidewalls and tread depth in person despite the clean recent pass, since rubber degrades with age regardless of mileage. The two close 2025 tests hint the seller rectified a non-mechanical failure promptly. Overall the documentary history implies conscientious if not intensive use, with no warning signs of deferred maintenance.
