2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV62 YMU

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 53,382 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean passes since February 2023. The vehicle shows no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the supplied record, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 53,382 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,813 miles per year. The test history confirms light use: the car covered only 1,473 miles between February 2023 (49,749 miles) and February 2026. No gaps or abrupt accumulation appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse but uniformly clean, with the sole anomaly being a failed test on 15 February 2023 at 49,749 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or procedural reversal rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low annual mileage and probable periods of standing. Drivetrain seals and exhaust emissions hardware may degrade through inactivity rather than wear. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories in the record is favourable, but static storage can conceal underbody rust not visible during a brief road test. Verify the February 2023 fail-pass anomaly with DVLA documentation before purchase. Otherwise, the maintenance pattern implies a careful prior owner who addressed consumables proactively. Given the clean advisory history, focus physical checks on tyre sidewall condition and binding calipers from disuse, not on overdue wear items.
