2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · EX62 AAZ

The 2012 Ford Fiesta recorded on 5 June 2026 at 95,154 miles is currently not fully roadworthy, as the same day’s test documented excessive play in the off‑side front track‑rod end ball joint, a condition that causes binding rear brakes. The recurring suspension and corrosion faults observed since 2021 indicate a persistent, worsening trend rather than improvement. At 14 years old the vehicle has accumulated 95,154 miles, averaging 6,797 miles per year, a rate consistent with normal usage and showing no anomalous gaps between the 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 recordings. Repeated advisories on worn suspension arm pins and bushes, corroded coil springs on both sides, light oil misting from rear shock absorbers, and severe rust on the rear silencer and exhaust have appeared in every test since 2021, demonstrating that these components have not been replaced despite regular mileage. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front and rear suspension arm assemblies, verify the integrity of the coil springs and shock absorbers, inspect the track‑rod end for play, assess brake disc wear and tyre tread, and look for structural rust on the silencer and exhaust, as these items have consistently shown deterioration.
