2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV12 NHY

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 64,118 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 22 January 2024 at 61,747 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage sits at 64,118 against an estimated 14-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,580 miles per year. The DVSA log shows 54,264 miles on 14 January 2023, rising to 54,445 by 23 January 2023, then 61,746 at the failed 22 January 2024 test and 61,747 on the same-day pass. Low annual use implies lighter mechanical cycling, though the two January 2024 entries one mile apart show a same-day fail-and-retest with no defects listed, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The history carries no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. Absence of flagged wear on a 14-year-old car points to either careful storage or infrequent use, but does not confirm component condition. A buyer should still inspect for perished rubber, binding calipers, and structural integrity at the sills and subframes, as MOT passes at low mileage can miss slow degradation from standing. Given the sparse and clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance. The repeated same-day fail-pass pattern in January 2024 warrants a check of the original failure reason via DVSA portal, but no recurring mechanical trend is evident from the supplied data.
