2012 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · R25 SBW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend following a period of concern. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 107,754 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have likely been addressed, suggesting the current or immediate previous owner is proactive in maintaining the car once faults reached a notable threshold. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. Data shows steady usage, with 10,513 miles covered between August 2023 and September 2024, and another 9,727 miles recorded between September 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the car does not sit idle for long periods, which helps prevent the seal degradation and corrosion often associated with low-use vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and wheel condition. The 2023 test at 87,514 miles flagged play in both front suspension arm ball joints and wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes. While these were cleared in subsequent tests, the report of slightly distorted road wheels on all four wheels suggests the vehicle may have experienced significant impacts or hard cornering. Verify that there is no uneven tyre wear and check that the rubber bushing components remain free of signs of tearing or perished material.
