2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AX61 ACF

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 3 March 2026 at 95,408 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The test on 2 March 2026 at 95,395 miles recorded a fail with no defects listed, a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed cleanly the next day. Prior tests in February 2024 and February 2025 also passed with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern of wear or recurring defects over the last three years. The odometer reads 95,408 miles against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,815 miles per year and sitting within typical use for a supermini of this age. Annual increments are modest: 83,935 miles in February 2024, 88,498 miles in February 2025, and 95,408 miles by March 2026, reflecting light yearly running rather than high-load motorway cycles. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across any entry, which limits grounds for concern about neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not capture early-stage rust on sills or subframes. The repeated February and March test clustering suggests the owner maintains annual compliance, yet the 2024-02-16 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation that the V5C and test certificate align with no suppressed mechanical entries. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and caliper freedom during viewing, since these minor items fall outside the flagged history but degrade with low-mileage standing.
