2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GJ61 ABU

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 6 May 2025 at 35,758 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 2,384 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase, moving from 30,008 miles in May 2021 to 35,758 miles by May 2025. This linear progression suggests the car has been used for short, occasional trips rather than sitting dormant for years at a time, which reduces the risk of severe seal degradation or seized components. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low annual mileage introduces specific risks that the DVSA tests may not fully capture. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system to check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs caused by infrequent use. Rubber components, including tyre sidewalls and suspension bushes, should be checked for perishing or dry rot, as these age regardless of mileage. The absence of any recorded corrosion or structural advisories over the last five years is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, a manual check of the underbody and sills remains prudent to ensure no surface rust has developed in areas not specifically flagged during the brief MOT inspections. Given the clean record, the primary focus should be on confirming that the low usage has not led to fluid stagnation or battery degradation.
