2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DF12 AEE

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on the available data, though the MOT history is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 19 November 2022 at 81,243 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2019, suggesting a vehicle that has been well-maintained or lightly used. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,803 miles per year. Between October 2020 and November 2022, the car covered only 5,664 miles. This low usage pattern indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy wear, but the lack of any MOT entries between November 2022 and July 2026 is a critical concern. The vehicle has been without a valid roadworthiness certificate for over three years. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. While the record shows no previous failures for corrosion or suspension bushes, cars left standing often develop seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. The lack of recent data means the current state of the brake discs and fluid integrity is unknown. Verify the current condition of the exhaust system and check for any signs of structural rust on the sills and chassis. Because the vehicle has not been tested since 2022, it is impossible to confirm if the engine remains reliable or if the seals have leaked during its dormant period. A full mechanical health check is essential to bridge the four-year gap in official records.
