2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · F2 SCF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in November 2025 at 95,167 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement as the owner has actively addressed specific mechanical failures identified in previous tests. While the November 2025 test initially failed for high exhaust emissions, the immediate retest just 25 miles later indicates that the engine management or fuel system is now operating within acceptable parameters. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data shows steady usage with a 3,435-mile interval recorded between January 2024 and December 2024, and another 3,464 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which generally benefits the condition of rubber seals, hoses, and the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front-end suspension geometry, given the failure for an excessively worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush recorded at 88,058 miles. Although this was repaired, the age of the vehicle means other rubber components and shock absorbers may be nearing the end of their service life. Check for any signs of oil leaks or carbon buildup, as the emissions failure flagged in late 2025 suggests the engine has previously struggled with incomplete combustion or sensor malfunction.
