2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE12 RAX

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, a pass recorded on 24 September 2025 at 138,327 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every annual examination from September 2023 through September 2025 resulting in a clean sheet once the vehicle reached the testing bay. Two administrative failures on 8 September 2023 and 24 September 2025 show no recorded defects, indicating the tester aborted or re-entered the test rather than the car exhibiting a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,880 miles per year against the 14-year age, a typical use profile for a 2012 supermini. The records move from 120,906 miles in September 2023 to 132,109 miles in September 2024, then to 138,327 miles in September 2025. That is about 11,200 miles in the first interval and 6,200 in the second, a slight taper but no standing periods or abrupt accumulation. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the odometer span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 138,000-mile state and the absence of any advisory capture in the MOT data. The lack of corrosion or structural integrity flags in the official record is reassuring, yet testers often omit minor advisories on a pass with no defects. Verify the exhaust emissions and check for binding calipers during a road trial. The duplicated fail and pass on identical dates and mileages suggests clerical rework at the garage rather than recurring faults. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline. Treat the clean history as a low-risk baseline, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical survey.
