2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LT12 HNH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 104,379 miles passed, it introduced advisories for a perished nearside front tyre and corroded offside rear coil spring. This follows a clean record in 2025 and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle is now beginning to show age-related degradation in rubber components. The recorded mileage of 104,379 miles over 14 years represents an average of approximately 7,456 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 4,105 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regular interval suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which generally helps maintain the integrity of engine seals and fuel systems. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the failure in April 2024 due to thin pads on both sides indicates that service intervals may be pushed to the absolute limit. The 2026 advisory regarding the corroded offside rear coil spring requires a physical inspection for structural integrity, as deep surface corrosion on springs can lead to sudden snapping. Additionally, the tyre sidewalls should be checked for further perishing or cracking, as the previous history of exposed cords suggests the rubber compound is reaching the end of its functional life.
