2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FG62 AEB

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass recorded on 30 May 2025 at 53,139 miles. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior four annual tests also returned passes with no advisories logged. This indicates the vehicle has not exhibited worsening mechanical faults across the observed history. Recorded mileage stands at 53,139 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,796 miles per year. The tester logged 44,168 miles on 28 September 2023, then 45,849 on 1 June 2024, and 53,139 by 30 May 2025. The jump of over 7,000 miles in the final year breaks a pattern of very low use and suggests the car moved from extended standing to regular commuting. Sparse entries before 2022 leave earlier wear undocumented. A same-day fail and pass on 30 May 2025 at identical mileage with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentational error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in any test, so the DVSA data alone reveals no recurring consumable or structural concerns. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and brake caliper operation given the long dormant period before 2024. Low annual mileage followed by a busy year can hide perished seals or flat-spotted tyres unseen by MOT testers. Verify service history to confirm fluids and timing components were attended to during the standing phase.
