2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GJ61 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 167,174 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failure followed by successful retests. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the initial test only to pass shortly thereafter at the same mileage interval. This suggests the previous owners addressed specific defects only when legally compelled by a testing failure, rather than performing proactive maintenance on a regular schedule. At 167,174 miles over 15 years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 11,145 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 10,341 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which typically places consistent wear on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. While the most recent test showed no defects, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounts, as these are common failure points on this generation of Fiesta. Given the history of retests, an inquiry into the condition of the brake calipers for binding and the integrity of the coil springs is also warranted. The lack of any recorded advisories in the latest test is unusual for a car with this mileage and suggests the tester may have overlooked minor consumable wear.
