2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GD12 XSA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 November 2025 at 67,879 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately to meet minimum legal standards. Since the 2024 test at 60,167 miles, the vehicle has maintained a clean record without any lingering advisories. The mileage profile reflects low annual usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,848 miles per year. Between December 2023 and November 2025, the car covered 11,577 miles, indicating consistent but light use over that two-year period. The data is sparse but consistent. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between recorded tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based seals and the corrosion of stationary components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific causes of the failures in late 2023 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of the Fiesta, it is vital to check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points which are common on this model regardless of mileage. Inspect the braking system for signs of pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from brake surface rust when left stationary for long periods.
