2012 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ST62 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 15 January 2025 at 79,176 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 5,655 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between September 2023 and January 2025, where the odometer rose from 52,843 to 79,176 miles. This indicates the vehicle covered over 26,000 miles in approximately 15 months, a sharp increase compared to the steady growth seen between September 2021 and September 2023. The absence of advisories over several years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, the recent period of higher mileage means a buyer should specifically check for accelerated wear on consumables. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and the tyres for tread depth, as these components will have seen more use recently. Given the car is 14 years old, a physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT might not highlight as failures until they are critical. Check for surface corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. Verify the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish due to age regardless of the low overall mileage.
