2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CV12 LRK

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 January 2026 at 57,691 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run that began after the vehicle's only failure in 2023. Recorded mileage sits at 57,691 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 4,121 miles per year. The history shows light and irregular use: 51,452 miles on 30 March 2022, then 53,120 at the April 2023 tests, 55,664 on 24 December 2024, and 57,691 in January 2026. Gaps between tests exceed twelve months in two instances, and the 2023 to 2024 interval covered only 1,544 miles. Low annual coverage and standing periods suggest drivetrain and suspension components saw little cyclic loading, though rubber bushes and brake calipers may have degraded through inactivity rather than wear. The sole failure occurred on 21 April 2023 at 53,120 miles, with the DVSA record showing no defects listed against that result. A pass on the same date at identical mileage followed, indicating the failure stemmed from an administrative or unrecorded test condition rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for corrosion, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions appear across the five entries, so the file gives no evidence of recurring structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, brake calipers for binding after prolonged storage, and underbody structural integrity for hidden rust. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but sparse testing and low mileage mean workshop verification remains prudent before purchase.
