2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CX12 YCK

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 21 October 2025 at 140,966 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from October 2023 through October 2025 returning a clean result once the vehicle cleared the initial failure. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear in the data. The recorded mileage of 140,966 at the 2025 test equates to roughly 10,069 miles per year against the car's fourteen-year life, a figure consistent with typical private use. The odometer moved from 116,921 miles at the 24 October 2023 test to 129,775 on 18 October 2024 and then to 140,966 by 21 October 2025, showing steady annual accumulation of about 12,000 to 13,000 miles with no sudden jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA entries are sparse, listing only pass and fail events with no defects noted, so the record gives limited insight into consumable condition. Both the 24 October 2023 and 21 October 2025 tests show a failed entry immediately followed by a pass at near-identical mileage, 116,921 and 140,964 versus 140,966, with no defects recorded on either failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a genuine mechanical fault, though a buyer should confirm the V5C and test certificate details match. Given the clean defect history, no specific suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion items require targeted investigation from the record alone. A pre-purchase inspection should still verify structural integrity, exhaust emissions, and tyre tread physically, as the MOT entries omit advisory-level wear. The high overall mileage means suspension and drivetrain components are due for natural ageing even without flagged defects. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic annual compliance, but the sparse record leaves consumable condition unconfirmed.
