2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DA61 WJU

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 33,961 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from November 2022 to November 2024 also returned passes with clean sheets. The single failure logged on 11 November 2024 at 33,246 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage remains exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old car. The record shows 31,680 miles in November 2022, rising to 32,463 miles in November 2023, 33,246 miles in November 2024, and 33,961 miles by October 2025. That equates to roughly 2,400 miles per year. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected gaps, though such low use often means long standing periods that can age rubber components and brake hardware without showing in test results. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration linked to prolonged inactivity. The tester recorded no corrosion or structural advisories across the five-year span, which suggests the body and subframes have been kept sound. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear, and confirm the handbrake mechanism and calipers are free, since standing vehicles commonly develop binding from seized sliders. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous keepers appear to have stored and maintained the car to a basic standard. The duplicate 11 November 2024 entry hints at a test centre re-run rather than owner neglect. View the car in person to verify underbody condition and confirm the emissions and drivetrain remain healthy at this low mileage.
