2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · MV61 PZF

The Fiesta shows a passed MOT at its most recent test on 15 October 2021 at 102,432 miles, yet the same date carries a failure with no defects recorded. Earlier, a failure on 12 December 2019 at 102,323 miles preceded a pass on 31 March 2020 at identical mileage. The maintenance trend reads as stable for documented mechanical condition, but the repeated unexplained failures deny assurance of a clean history. Given today's date of 9 July 2026, this roadworthiness verdict relies on tests nearly five years stale. Mileage advanced from 96,870 at the 14 May 2018 pass to 102,323 by the December 2019 failure, a modest 5,453 miles over nineteen months. The odometer then crawled just 109 miles to the 2021 tests. That pattern signals the car sat largely unused after early 2020, dropping well below the circa 7,300 miles per year average for a 2012 model. Sparse entries and zero advisories suggest light wear on tyres and wiper blades, though long dormant spells invite perished rubber and stagnant fluids. A buyer must physically verify the causes behind the two no-defect failures, as the extract hides them. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, and probe brake discs for corrosion after standing. The record notes no binding calipers or exhaust emissions breaches, but structural integrity under wheel arches and sills warrants close inspection for rust on a fourteen-year-old hatch. Previous owners clearly favoured storage over mileage; that habit may have spared drivetrain wear yet encouraged moisture damage unseen in the MOT log.
