2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · YD12 ABU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 29 March 2025 at 92,106 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a failure on 17 January 2025 at 91,199 miles, although the record oddly lists no specific defects for that failure. The absence of advisories across the last several years suggests a vehicle that has been kept in a consistent state of repair. The mileage pattern is typical for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 6,579 miles per year. Usage has remained steady, as seen between the September 2021 test at 75,778 miles and the October 2023 test at 83,324 miles. There is no evidence of excessive wear from high mileage or degradation from long periods of standing. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no recorded failures for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions over the last five years. While the lack of advisories is positive, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as surface rust does not always trigger a failure unless it compromises structural integrity. Check the condition of the tyres and brake pads during a physical inspection. Since the record shows no recent replacements or advisories for these consumables, they may be nearing the end of their service life. Verify the reason for the January 2025 failure, as the lack of recorded defects in the data makes that specific event ambiguous.
