2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · GL61 HVT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record. The most recent inspection conducted on 22 January 2026 at 126,062 miles passed with no recorded defects, mirroring the pattern of clean results seen in previous years. While the vehicle failed its initial test in January 2024, the immediate rectification allowed for a pass that same day, suggesting the owner is proactive in addressing identified safety or environmental failures. At 126,062 miles over 14 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 9,000 miles per annum, which aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The data shows steady, predictable mileage accumulation with roughly 2,700 miles covered between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and approximately 2,300 miles between January 2024 and 2025. This regularity reduces the likelihood of component seizure or rapid rubber degradation often associated with long periods of stationary use. Given the lack of mechanical advisories in the digital history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this age and mileage. Check the structural integrity for signs of corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, as these are common areas of concern for older Fiestas. Inspect suspension bushes for cracking and coil springs for fractures, as these components often fatigue around the 120,000-mile mark. The brake discs should be checked for excessive pitting or uneven wear to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current state of the braking system.
