2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · CT12 APV

The vehicle presents a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 30 March 2026 at 81,990 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently achieved passes following immediate rectifications of failures. The record shows failures in March 2025 and March 2026 occurring just days before the successful tests, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults to maintain legal compliance rather than allowing chronic mechanical degradation or structural neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,856 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 12,700 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 9,079 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests short-distance urban use, though low-mileage vehicles are prone to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals which perish through time and stasis rather than through mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake assembly, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from seized calipers or perished suspension bushes. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the arches and sills, is essential to ensure structural integrity has not been compromised. While the recent records show no outstanding defects, the recurring nature of the failures indicates the vehicle requires regular attention to minor items to remain roadworthy over the long term.
