2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · F11 UCT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 40,942 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a failure just three miles prior on the same day. This immediate rectification likely indicates a minor adjustment or a simple consumable-related fail item that was addressed instantly, as the subsequent pass showed the vehicle met all primary safety standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 30,935 miles and December 2024 at 37,806 miles, the car covered only 6,871 miles over two years. This low-frequency usage pattern suggests limited mechanical wear on the drivetrain and internal engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation, fluid breakdown, and dry-rot which are not captured by mileage-based wear metrics. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Inspect the condition of tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and brake hoses for signs of cracking or perished. Given the low mileage, check the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers caused by lack of use. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody, particularly around the rear wheel arches and sills, as older Ford Fiesta chassis are prone to corrosion regardless of how many miles the car has travelled.
