2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SH12 CCV

The 2012 Ford Fiesta stands roadworthy following the DVSA test on 5 December 2025 at 97,752 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, as the most recent examination and the prior December 2024 pass show clean results. No advisories for suspension, brakes, or emissions appear across the supplied history. Odometer readings advanced from 87,392 miles at the 5 December 2023 failure to 95,484 miles at the 5 December 2024 failure, then to 97,752 miles by December 2025. This equates to roughly 5,180 miles per year over the recorded span, slightly below the lifetime average of 6,982 miles per annum for a 14-year-old car. The sparse record shows two initial failures with no defects logged, each reversed within three to four days at near-identical mileage; such pattern points to administrative rejections rather than mechanical deterioration. Previous owners likely presented the vehicle for test without addressing minor paperwork or non-listed items. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for suspension bushes, coil springs, and binding calipers, as an MOT snapshot cannot expose every worn component. The tester flagged no corrosion or structural concerns, but a 2012 model warrants underbody checks for rust and exhaust integrity. Verify the V5C and prior test certificates to explain the anomalous no-defect fails, and confirm tyre tread and wiper blades remain serviceable despite absence of advisories.
