2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LP12 AEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 30 September 2025 at 30,766 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean record across the last five years indicates that the primary mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable tolerances without triggering any failures or recurring issues during official inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 4,561 miles, showing a very slow rate of accumulation. The jump from 28,551 miles in 2024 to 30,766 miles in 2025 suggests the vehicle is used for short trips. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks associated with component age-related degradation and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage use rather than high-mile wear. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake failures, but the inspector must check for perished rubber seals and seized brake calipers which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. The suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls require scrutiny for cracking or dry rot, as materials degrade over time regardless of the distance travelled. Given the lack of advisories in the history, the vehicle appears well-maintained, provided the fluids and rubber components have not suffered from oxidation during the periods of low use.
