2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BN12 HTF

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on April 2026 at 33,868 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This lack of recorded faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained without significant mechanical failures or structural degradation being flagged by the testing equipment. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,419 miles per year. Between February 2022 and January 2023, the car covered only 1,144 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage or minimal use. However, a surge in usage occurred between January 2023 and April 2026, where the vehicle clocked 19,528 miles in three years. While the low mileage generally reduces wear on drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage use rather than high-mile wear. Inspect the rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyres for signs of cracking or dry rot, as these occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion in the sills and wheel arches remains necessary despite the lack of previous MOT recorded structural issues.
