2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BV12 ONR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available history, though the data is dated. The last test conducted in October 2021 at 72,932 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a failure on that same day for a nearside front tyre tread depth. This indicates that the previous owner addressed immediate safety consumable issues to achieve compliance, and the vehicle has maintained a clean record since that point of intervention. At 72,932 miles over fourteen years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 5,200 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a car of this age. A notable gap in testing exists between 2019 and 2021, during which the vehicle covered roughly 18,600 miles. This low usage pattern suggests short trips or long periods of remaining stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of component degradation, such as perished rubber, seized calipers, and corrosion on brake discs due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of rubber hoses and seals, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from dry rot rather than mechanical wear. Given the 2019 failure for an ineffective wiper blade, verify the state of the wiper arms and motor to ensure they have not seized or neglected. Since there is no MOT data for the past five years, a thorough inspection is required to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and underside, and to confirm that no fluid leaks have developed since the 2021 test.
