2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LS12 JPF

The vehicle currently presents a positive roadworthiness status with an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 09 May 2025 at 91,114 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully addressed. While the history shows a pattern of initial failures, the subsequent clean sheets suggest that the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal road standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between June 2023 at 80,327 miles and May 2024 at 84,321 miles, the car covered roughly 4,000 miles, showing a period of lower usage followed by a more 6,800-mile interval leading up to the 2025 test. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces the wear and tear on drivetrain components and suspension compared to high-mileage examples of the same era. A buyer should focus on investigating the specific causes of the failures in June 2023 and May 2024, although the provided data does not list the exact mechanical faults. Given the age of this Fiesta, a physical inspection must check for developing structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this model. The buyer should also verify the condition of suspension bushes and brake lines, as low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from degradation of rubber components or seizing of calipers due to time rather than use.
