2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AV61 YFY

The vehicle presents a generally positive roadworthiness profile with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 15 December 2025 at 33,649 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all regulatory standards. While a single failure was recorded on 12 December 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor defect was identified and rectified quickly without establishing a pattern of recurring mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2025, the car covered only 5,517 miles, showing a consistent pattern of infrequent use of fewer than 2,000 miles annually. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation such as perished rubber seals, dried fluids, and corrosion on brake components due to the vehicle sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from time rather than distance. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking and check the age-coded rubber, as the tread may appear new. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or heavy corrosion, as low-use vehicles often fail to clear surface rust effectively. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or unexpected rust to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised its structural integrity despite the low odometer reading.
