FORD FIESTA2011 · 1.4L Petrol

The Ford Fiesta presents a current roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 1 August 2025 at 112,664 miles, following a same-day failure that listed no defects. Maintenance trend across the supplied DVSA history remains stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged in any test from August 2023 through August 2025. The most recent certificate is approximately eleven months old relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, indicating the vehicle requires its next test within weeks. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a fifteen-year-old car. The record shows 102,634 miles at the August 2023 pass, rising to 107,324 miles by the July 2024 pass after a brief failed attempt at 107,133 miles eleven days earlier. From mid-2024 to the August 2025 test the odometer advanced 5,340 miles, producing an annual rate near the 7,511-mile average for the model's life. Sparse test entries reveal no rapid accumulation or prolonged standing, though the two failure entries with zero defects suggest administrative rejections rather than worsening wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that MOT records do not capture as faults when absent. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, assess brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, and check structural integrity at sills and subframes for corrosion. Unlike minor consumable items such as tyres or wiper blades, these areas represent serious mechanical or structural risk if degraded. The twin fail-pass events on 8 and 19 July 2024 and on 1 August 2025 warrant a request for the full DVSA failure reasons to confirm no hidden non-mechanical issues like lighting or documentation errors. The absence of recorded defects across five tests implies previous owners maintained basic compliance, yet the peculiar same-day fail-pass pattern hints at either tester discretion or rushed corrective action. Verify service invoices and confirm the vehicle's current test expiry before purchase.
