2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AV02 ANA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to recurring component degradation. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 42,341 miles passed, it highlighted persistent issues with front brake discs and perishing rear tyres. These specific faults have appeared consistently across the 2023 and 2024 tests, indicating that while the car is legally compliant, certain parts are aging out without use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of low usage, such as the only 1,285 miles driven between December 2024 and December 2025. However, this low mileage often correlates with the age of rubber-based components and metal surfaces. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to multiple defects suggests that the vehicle may have sat for long periods, leading to environmental degradation rather than mechanical wear from high-frequency. A buyer must physically inspect the rear tyres for sidewall cracking and age, as the tester has flagged both nearside and offside units for several years. The pitting and scoring on the front brake discs suggest surface corrosion from lack of use, which can eventually lead to poor braking performance if not replaced. You should also examine suspension bushings and brake hoses, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from dry rot and perished rubber despite low odometer readings. No structural rust was noted in the history, but a thorough check of the underbody for corrosion is required to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains sound.
