2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN12 HNE

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a pass on 13 February 2026 at 107,382 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. The test history shows no mechanical advisories or failures on grounds of wear, corrosion, or emissions across the three years covered. Prior to the clean pass, the car failed on 12 February 2026 at 107,380 miles and again on 3 February 2025 at 104,354 miles, yet both failures list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than outstanding faults. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 100,217 miles on 8 February 2024, rising to 104,358 miles by 6 February 2025 and 107,382 miles by February 2026. That equates to roughly 3,500 miles per year over the logged period, below the 7,670 annual average implied by the odometer. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of neglected consumables, though the two zero-defect failures suggest the seller or previous owners presented the car without resolving paperwork or minor visible issues the tester declined to log. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained failed tests. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out developing corrosion on structural members or tired tyres, both common on Fiestas of this era. Verify the V5C and test centre notes for the February 2025 and February 2026 failures to confirm no hidden brake binding or exhaust condition was missed. Given the low annual mileage and clean recent pass, the vehicle shows no worsening mechanical trend. Treat the repeated no-defect failures as a prompt to check service receipts and confirm road tax and keeper history before purchase.
