2011 FORD FIESTA1.4L Diesel

The 2011 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-25 at 153,882 miles showed a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2025-06-24 at 153,881 miles recorded a failure with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded minor faults. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks significant defects across its 2022–2025 tests, indicating a stable trend in roadworthiness despite the recent failed inspection. However, the absence of defect details in both the pass and fail entries limits definitive conclusions about underlying mechanical health. The car’s mileage of 153,882 miles aligns with an average of 10,259 annual miles, consistent with its 15-year age. Notable gaps exist between tests: a 16-month interval between the 2022-09-30 pass (144,632 miles) and the 2024-02-20 pass (148,425 miles), followed by a 16-month gap until the 2025-06-25 pass. These intervals may reflect irregular servicing, increasing the risk of undetected wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions systems. The lack of recurring defects in the record suggests no systemic issues, but the sparse data limits confidence in long-term reliability. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as age-related degradation is common in 15-year-old vehicles. The failed 2025 MOT, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny of brake components, including binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which could cause sudden failures. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly for corrosion in the underbody or chassis, as rust can compromise safety over time. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the car’s age and maintenance gaps necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
