2012 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YS62 CZJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a positive recent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 4 March 2026 at 76,611 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and emissions standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2023 and 2025, suggesting that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing potential issues before they resulted in a test failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between June 2023 at 59,871 miles and March 2024 at 65,124 miles, where the car covered roughly 5,200 miles in nine months. However, the usage increased significantly in the most recent year, with 7,728 miles recorded between February 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage generally reduces the mechanical load on the drivetrain and engine, though it can increase the risk of rubber components degrading or brakes seizing due to of inactivity. The failure recorded on 4 March 2024 at 65,124 miles, immediately followed by a pass the following day, suggests a minor defect that was rectified quickly. Because the record shows no recurring mechanical advisories or structural corrosion, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related wear that MOT tests do not always catch. Specifically inspect the underside for surface rust on the sills, check the suspension bushes for cracking, and verify the condition of the tyres, as these components age regardless of the low mileage driven.
