2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · ML62 SVP

This 2012 Ford Fiesta has covered 160,243 miles, which averages out to approximately 11,446 miles per year. This is a typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age, suggesting it has been kept in regular service rather than sitting idle for extended periods. While the mileage is high, it indicates the car has been consistently driven, which can sometimes be better for engine health than long-term storage, provided maintenance has been kept up. The MOT history shows a stable trend with a mix of minor advisories and clean passes. The most recent test in November 2025 resulted in a pass with an advisory for slight play in the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint. This is a common point of wear on high-mileage vehicles and will likely require replacement in the near future to maintain handling precision and safety. Looking back at the 2023 and 2022 records, the vehicle has previously flagged issues regarding road wheel distortion and minor bodywork damage, specifically to the nearside outer sill. These items suggest the car may have encountered significant road hazards or kerbing during its life. While these were not recorded as failed tests, they indicate that the suspension and wheel components have been subjected to impact, which can accelerate the degradation of bushes and joints. Overall, the vehicle appears to be in a stable condition for its age and mileage, though the recurring history of wheel and suspension-related advisories suggests the undercarriage has seen some hard use.
