2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV62 WTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows signs of gradual degradation in age-related components. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 60,840 miles, the car accumulated multiple advisories that were not present in the previous clean test. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes alongside corroded artwork springs indicates that the suspension system is beginning to fatigue due to age and exposure rather than high mileage. At 60,840 miles, this fourteen-year-old Fiesta has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,346 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with intervals of roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles between annual tests from 2021 to 2025. This low usage explains the lack of wear on the drivetrain, but it often correlates with the accelerated deterioration of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces, as evidenced by the recurring pitting and corrosion issues seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension and front braking system. The rear artwork springs have been flagged as corroded since 2021, and the new advisory for axle swivel pins and bushes in 2025 suggests these components will soon require replacement. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored in both 2023 and 2025, indicating they have not been replaced recently and are suffering from surface rust during periods of inactivity. The rear seat belts should also be checked for fraying as noted in the 2025 report to ensure they remain functional.
