2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FN62 LPK

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 July 2025 at 106,785 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 27 July 2024 at 99,625 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past three years. Recorded mileage sits at 106,785 against an age of roughly fourteen years, equating to about 7,628 miles per year and reflecting typical use for a supermini of this period. The gap between the 4 November 2022 test at 84,282 miles and the 10 May 2023 pass at 86,624 miles shows only light accumulation, though a failed test on 4 May 2023 at 86,617 miles preceded the pass six days later with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. From mid-2023 to mid-2025 the car covered just over 20,000 miles, a moderate annual rate that limits accelerated drivetrain fatigue. The absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust corrosion, or structural integrity issues means no specific mechanical trend requires caution from the record alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, coil springs, and binding calipers given the vehicle's age and winter exposure risk, as MOT passes without advisories do not certify component remaining life. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with only the anomalous May 2023 failure interrupting an otherwise unbroken pass sequence. The clean sheet at 106,785 miles implies basic upkeep was not neglected, though pre-purchase checks on tyre tread depth and wiper condition remain sensible given these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits.
