2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AV12 NWO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the June 2025 test at 123,728 miles. This recent result indicates that previous mechanical issues have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a period of significant maintenance requirements into a phase of consistent upkeep. The absence of advisories in the two most recent tests suggests a positive trend in maintaining the vehicle's operational standards. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. The record shows a steady progression from 83,648 miles in May 2022 to 123,728 miles in June 2025. There are no indications of long periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes that would suggest irregular usage patterns. The data provides a reliable chronological history of the vehicle's life cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and front-end suspension components. The May 2022 failure and subsequent 2023 advisory highlighted significant issues, including a major exhaust leak, worn ball joints, and exposed tyre cords. While the 2025 test shows no current defects, the history of brake imbalance and corroded brake pipes suggests that the rear braking assembly and the integrity of the hydraulic lines should be closely examined for any signs of returning wear or surface corrosion. The previous failure regarding tyre cords and suspension ball joints implies that the vehicle has required reactive maintenance in the past. Although the current MOT status is clear, verifying the condition of the front suspension bushes and the remaining tread depth on all tyres remains a prudent step. The transition from the heavy mechanical failures seen in 2022 to the clean results in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the major repairs were likely completed, but a thorough check of the exhaust system and brake lines will confirm the longevity of those fixes.
