2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RW02 BEC

The 2012 Ford Fiesta holds a current roadworthy confirmation from the 6 November 2025 test at 87,687 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available MOT entries, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any pass. An irregular failure on 25 October 2024 at 80,615 miles, showing no defects on the record, interrupts an otherwise clean sequence and requires clarification from DVSA records. Recorded mileage tracks as typical for a 13-year-old car at the 2022 test, progressing from 57,022 miles on 17 August 2022 to 70,165 on 10 August 2023, then 80,768 on 1 November 2024, reaching 87,687 by 6 November 2025. Yearly distance covered declined from about 13,100 to near 6,900 in the final period, implying reduced recent use. The five tests show no major gaps; the short span between the October 2024 fail and November 2024 pass reflects either prompt correction or paperwork amendment. The clean test history implies previous owners addressed items to pass threshold but omitted proactive renewal of consumables. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, latent wear may exist below fail limits. A buyer must inspect structural integrity at sills and subframes, evaluate front suspension bushes for degradation, measure brake disc wear, and verify exhaust emissions in person. The unexplained 2024 failure necessitates obtaining the original VT30 to confirm no hidden mechanical rejection. Prior keeper care appears consistent on paper, yet physical verification remains essential given the vehicle's age and the anomalous test entry.
