2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV12 RXT

The 2012 Ford Fiesta holds a roadworthy status, with the latest DVSA test on 4 March 2026 at 67,589 miles recording a pass and no defects. Maintenance trend stays stable across the five-year record, showing annual passes and zero advisories. The test on 11 March 2024 at 65,167 miles logged a failure yet listed no defects, pointing to an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits low for a fourteen-year-old car. The odometer read 63,291 miles on 15 March 2023, climbed to 65,167 miles by 11 March 2024, reached 66,520 miles on 3 March 2025, and showed 67,589 miles at the March 2026 test. That spread equals about 1,400 miles annually, far beneath the national average. Light use or extended standing periods explain the figure. Consecutive clean passes suggest prior keepers maintained basic servicing and presented the car for timely annual examinations. The MOT entries flag no recurring defects, advisories, or structural concerns across the timeline. Even so, a purchaser must verify in person the usual wear points on a low-mileage 2012 hatchback. The tester recorded no binding calipers, exhaust emissions breaches, or suspension bush degradation, but static storage promotes rubber perishing and hidden corrosion. Inspect brake discs for lip formation, coil springs for fractures, and underbody for rust. The 11 March 2024 failure carrying zero defects warrants a DVSA query to ensure no transcription error masks a genuine fault.
