2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GJ61 ACX

The 2011 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-23 assessment at 89,167 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no evidence of recurring problems in critical systems like brakes, suspension, or emissions. The mileage of 89,167 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,944 miles annually, significantly below the average for its age. This low usage aligns with steady annual mileage increases, such as from 72,270 miles in 2021 to 80,697 miles in 2022 and 84,772 miles in 2023. However, the extended gap between the 2023-10-17 test (84,772 miles) and the 2024-08-30 test (87,671 miles) suggests potential periods of inactivity, which could accelerate wear on rubber components or corrosion. The clean MOT history does not flag such issues, but buyers should verify the vehicle’s storage conditions. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which may degrade with age despite no MOT failures. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as low mileage can sometimes mask subtle issues. Structural integrity, including underbody rust, is critical given the car’s age, as corrosion often develops in parked vehicles. Additionally, confirm tyre tread depth and age, as infrequent use may have led to dry rot or reduced grip. The MOT record shows no red flags, but these areas warrant scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability.
