2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP12 KUC

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 August 2025 at 42,401 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Annual mileage has stayed low throughout the recorded history. The car covered 24,515 miles by 6 August 2021, then 28,398 by 15 August 2022, 32,490 by 7 August 2023, 38,207 by 12 August 2024, and 42,401 by 8 August 2025. That equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year across this period against a 14-year life, confirming light use with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data shows no advisories or failures at any stage, so the record gives no evidence of skipped basic upkeep. A clean test sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical checks. At 42,401 miles and 14 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounts will have aged regardless of distance covered. Corrosion on sills and suspension arms should be inspected closely, as the tester logged none but moisture exposure over time remains a risk on this model. Brake discs and calipers warrant a strip check for binding or uneven wear from low-use cycling. Tyres may show sidewall cracking from age rather than tread loss. The Fiesta's history implies a careful keeper, yet an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumables is still advised before purchase.
