2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SM12 BVB

The tester passed the Fiesta at 67,742 miles with no defects recorded on 28 October 2025. The maintenance trend across supplied records stays stable, with consecutive annual passes from October 2022 through October 2025. The tester also issued a failure on that same date at identical mileage yet cited no defects, indicating a same-day retest after a non-itemised correction. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 14-year-old car. The odometer advanced from 45,786 miles at the October 2022 test to 53,245 miles by November 2023, then to 61,041 miles in October 2024, and finally 67,742 miles in October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year, well below typical averages. Supplied history begins only in 2022, leaving the first decade undocumented, but the recent annual tests show no abrupt jumps or gaps that would signal heavy wear cycles. Previous owners cleared every presented MOT with no advisories on consumables or structural items, implying baseline statutory upkeep was met. The clean sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical checks. Low mileage combined with age often masks degraded suspension bushes, corroded brake discs, and perished seals after standing idle. The tester never flagged binding calipers or structural rust, yet a thorough inspection of underbody integrity and coil springs remains prudent before purchase.
