2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · VE61 ACO

The 2012 Ford Fiesta exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with all five MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent February 2026 test at 23,467 miles confirmed compliance, reinforcing a consistent maintenance record. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the six-year span, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within its low-mileage usage pattern. The mileage progression shows gradual annual increases, from 20,467 miles in 2022 to 23,467 in 2026, averaging 1,676 miles per year. This low accumulation aligns with the car’s 14-year age, indicating either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. Notably, the 2025 test at 22,543 miles and 2024 test at 22,025 miles reveal minimal annual growth, raising questions about potential storage conditions. The absence of significant mileage spikes or gaps suggests a controlled usage history, though prolonged idleness could affect fluid integrity and rubber components. A buyer should verify the condition of corrosion-prone areas, such as the underbody and chassis, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluid systems. While no suspension or brake issues were recorded, inspecting coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for wear is advisable. The lack of advisories on tyres, exhaust, or steering aligns with the clean MOT history, but a physical check of rubber components and fluid levels would confirm the vehicle’s readiness for sustained use.
