2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GF62 DZR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 January 2026 at 117,257 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by a successful re-test. This suggests the owner is reactive rather than proactive, addressing faults only when they are flagged by a tester rather than performing comprehensive preventative maintenance that would catch these issues before the annual inspection. At 117,257 miles over 14 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,375 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 10,000 miles between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is driven regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion and keeps components like seals from seizing. While the most recent pass recorded no defects, the recurring failures in February 2025 and January 2026 indicate that components frequently reach the end of their service life. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil spring mounts, as these are common points of wear on this model at this mileage. Given the age and usage, a close check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential to ensure the integrity of the chassis is not compromised beyond what the MOT tester typically identifies.
