2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CV62 DWW

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 21 May 2025 at 62,331 miles which recorded no defects. Prior examinations on 7 October 2024 at 60,859 miles and 17 June 2024 at 59,373 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 62,331 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,452 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests light use or extended standing periods. The gap between the 15 June 2023 failure at 55,202 miles and the 26 June 2023 pass at 55,215 miles shows an eleven-day retest where no defects were listed, implying an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair-led failure. Annual increments stay modest, with only 4,116 miles added across the 2024 to 2025 cycle. The clean advisory history across all passed tests means the tester flagged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust emission breaches. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of underbody corrosion and suspension components, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perishing rubber mounts and surface rust unseen in a brief test bay check. Given the absent defect log, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The 2023 double submission without recorded faults reflects either a documentation error or a non-item failure, not deferred consumable neglect such as tyres or wiper blades.
