2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LP12 AEM

The 2012 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 28 January 2025 at 113,595 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding passes in October 2023 at 103,518 miles and October 2021 at 96,445 miles also showed clean sheets. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or worsening faults flagged across the available record. Mileage sits at a typical level for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,114 miles per year. The gap between the October 2021 test at 96,445 miles and the August 2022 test at 97,051 miles shows only 606 miles covered in ten months, suggesting a period of limited use. From August 2022 to January 2025 the car added 16,544 miles, a moderate annual rate. The record is sparse but clean, with no consumable wear or mechanical defects noted at any stage. A duplicate entry on 25 August 2022 shows both a fail and a pass at 97,051 miles with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative retest rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No recurring problems with suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion appear in the history. The buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside corrosion, suspension components, and brake condition given the vehicle's age and the absence of tester advisories that might otherwise flag early wear. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but fourteen years of service warrants verification of tyre sidewall condition and wiper operation beyond the test scope.
