2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AF62 NBZ

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 June 2025 at 90,444 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the latest test showing a clean sheet and no advisories carried forward from prior years. Mileage data reveals an irregular usage pattern against the vehicle's fourteen-year age. The June 2023 test logged 82,089 miles and the June 2022 test showed 78,083 miles, a modest annual gain of roughly 4,000 miles. A sharp spike then appears: the June 2024 tests record 139,804 miles, an increase of over 57,000 miles in a single year. By the June 2025 test the odometer reads 90,444 miles, a figure lower than 2024 and physically inconsistent with normal accumulation. The DVSA record shows a failed test on 12 June 2024 at 139,804 miles with no defects listed, followed the same day by a pass at the identical mileage, suggesting an administrative reversal rather than a mechanical rectification. The absence of any recorded advisories across all five tests means no recurring wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion were flagged by testers. A clean record at this age does not confirm structural integrity, only that each annual examination found nothing reportable at the time. The unexplained mileage drop between 2024 and 2025 warrants scrutiny of the cluster or potential plate transfer. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of the subframe, sills, and suspension mounts for hidden rust, and verify the true mileage through service invoices given the conflicting odometer readings. The binding calipers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions cannot be assumed sound solely on the strength of blank advisory sections.
