2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CY62 GVM

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a clean but unusual roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 5 September 2025 at 213,858 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, yet the same date also logged a fail with no defects listed, a pattern repeated on 12 September 2024 at 177,168 miles. The maintenance trend is stable in mechanical terms, with three consecutive passes from 2023 to 2025 showing no advisories or faults, but the duplicate fail entries on test day suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than worsening vehicle condition. The mileage sits high for a 14-year-old supermini. The record shows 159,113 miles on 8 September 2023, rising to 177,168 by 12 September 2024 and 213,858 by 5 September 2025. That equates to roughly 36,000 miles in the final year alone, well above the 15,276 annual average, indicating heavy commuter or delivery use in the later life of the car. No gaps exist between annual tests, and the sparse, defect-free history gives little insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the high annual accumulation since 2024. The absence of advisories across all three years does not rule out worn components masked by a lenient tester or short test drives. Check subframe and sills for corrosion, as structural integrity on high-mileage Fiestas of this era degrades without visible MOT flags. The duplicate fail-with-no-defect entries on both 2024 and 2025 test dates warrant a DVSA database check before purchase. Previous owners clearly kept the car tested on time, but the sudden mileage surge from 2024 implies harder use that the clean record does not reflect. Verify service history against the 213,858-mile odometer to confirm drivetrain intervals were met.
