2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LT62 EPZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record at its most recent inspection. The May 2026 test at 59,418 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car is currently in a roadworthy state. This follows a period of minor cosmetic and peripheral issues, such as the nearside front road wheel distortion noted in May 2025 at 51,917 miles and a dented offside front rim in May 2023 at 37,550 miles. These faults appear to be isolated incidents related to wheel impact rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,244 miles per year. The data shows consistent, gradual increases in mileage, moving from 23,522 miles in July 2020 to the current 59,418 miles. This pattern suggests the car has been used for light, intermittent journeys rather than heavy commuting. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to other issues like seized components or dry seals due to infrequent use. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The July 2020 test at 23,522 miles flagged worn and pitted brake discs on both the nearside and offside front wheels. Although the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, the history of disc wear suggests that the braking components may have been subject to surface corrosion or infrequent use. Checking the thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads is a necessary precaution. The history also shows a single failure in July 2019 due to incorrect headlamp aim. While this was a simple adjustment issue, it is worth verifying that all lighting elements and aim settings function correctly. Given the low mileage and the absence of recent advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, the vehicle appears well-maintained, provided the owner has addressed the minor wheel and brake issues identified in previous years.
