2011 FORD FIESTA ZETEC1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the March 2026 test at 120,396 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, despite a single failure recorded in May 2025 at 116,230 miles, which was successfully rectified and re-tested just 148 miles later without any further recorded defects. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in addressing mechanical faults rather than allowing minor issues to accumulate over time. The mileage profile is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between March 2023 and May 2024, the car covered roughly 5,600 miles, showing a slightly lower usage, while the subsequent interval of 5,400 miles between May 2024 and May 2025 maintains a steady pattern. This regular usage is generally beneficial for a 15-year-old Fiesta as it helps prevent seal degradation and brake-related corrosion often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to wear at the 120,000-mile mark. While the MOT history is clean of advisories, the age of the vehicle means suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for play or perished rubber. Given the vehicle's age, a close examination of the chassis for structural corrosion or surface rust on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these areas often do not appear on MOT records until they become significant. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven pad wear will also ensure the clean pass in the March test reflects the actual mechanical state of the car.
