2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EY62 WCW

This 2012 Ford Fiesta has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 8 October 2025 at just 5,647 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced any recurring mechanical issues that would warrant immediate concern. However, the test was conducted just two months ago, meaning the vehicle is now approaching its next MOT due date. Given the lack of faults, the roadworthiness status remains stable, though the low mileage raises questions about its actual usage and potential for hidden wear. The recorded mileage of 5,647 miles over nearly 14 years—an average of around 403 miles annually—indicates extremely light usage. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 1,800 miles accrued between each MOT, suggesting the vehicle has likely been stored or used sporadically. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2021 and 2022 tests, where only 554 miles were added over a year, reinforcing the pattern of minimal driving. While this may imply lower wear on high-mileage components like brakes or suspension, it also raises the possibility of deferred maintenance or prolonged exposure to environmental factors, such as moisture or corrosion, which could affect structural integrity. Given the lack of MOT faults, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of components that are not directly tested under the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. The suspension—particularly the coil springs, bushes, and dampers—should be examined for signs of degradation or dry rot, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in previous tests, may have worn unevenly if the vehicle was rarely driven, leading to potential binding or uneven surface wear. Corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, should be thoroughly checked, as low mileage does not preclude rust damage from exposure. Finally, the battery and fluid levels—engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid—should be verified, as these are often neglected in vehicles that are not driven regularly.
