2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FL61 UTS

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 June 2025 at 109,156 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only anomaly is a failed test on 19 June 2023 at 108,802 miles that the same-day pass corrected, with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or retest artefact rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 7,797 miles per year for a 14-year-old car. The record shows 99,199 miles on 31 May 2022, rising to 108,802 miles by 19 June 2023, then only 109,049 miles on 11 June 2024 and 109,156 miles on 17 June 2025. That near-flat progression of 247 miles over the final 12 months and 107 miles over the last year implies the vehicle was barely used or stood idle for long periods in its later life. A clean MOT history with zero advisories across five tests means the tester logged no worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, failing brake discs, or exhaust issues at the recorded dates. The extremely low recent mileage, however, raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and hidden underside corrosion from standing. A buyer should physically inspect subframe rust, brake binding, tyre sidewall cracking, and fluid condition before purchase. Given the sparse but clean record, no recurring mechanical trend is evident. The previous owner appears to have kept the car minimally roadworthy for the test but used it so little in 2024 to 2025 that consumable degradation from storage is now the chief concern rather than high-mileage wear.
