2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GV61 LUJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in February 2025 at 94,441 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the owner has successfully addressed the defects identified in previous testing cycles. While the history shows a pattern of reactive repairs, the most recent inspection with no recorded defects suggests the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum safety standards for road use. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 94,441 miles averages to approximately 6,700 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with low-mile expectations for a city car, which generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components. The data shows consistent usage intervals, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles covered before the 2025 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the cooling system given the documented leak recorded in February 2023 at 78,109 miles. The buyer should check for perished hoses, water pump seepage, or signs of residual corrosion to ensure the previous repair was comprehensive. Additionally, the 2024 failure for cracked and perished tyres indicates that the rubber components may be suffering from age rather than just tread depth. It is necessary to inspect the age of all tyre sidewalls for dry rot and to examine the condition of suspension bushes and bushings, as these often degrade on low-mileage vehicles of this age.
