2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · HG12 RYT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent test in June 2025 at 47,177 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, maintaining a streak of clean results following a single failure in June 2022. This trend indicates that the previous owner addressed any initial issues and has since maintained the vehicle to a high operational standard. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,370 miles per year. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 2,973 miles, while the previous interval from 2023 to 2024 saw 4,136 miles. This low usage suggests the engine and drivetrain have not undergone the mechanical stress typically associated with high commuting, though low-mileage vehicles sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components and flat-spotted tyres during periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Check the condition of the suspension bushes for perished rubber or split-cracked surfaces, as these often fail on under-used cars. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear on the metal surface. Given the vehicle's age, verify the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches to ensure that no hidden rust has developed despite the clean MOT history.
