2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · L30 PAN

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 28 August 2025 at 133,471 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of worsening suspension health. While the car has secured consecutive passes, the recurring advisories regarding corroded rear coil springs indicate a lack of remedial action over the last two years. The presence of new advisories in the most recent test, specifically regarding seat belt fraying and uneven tyre wear, suggests that routine maintenance is becoming secondary to the vehicle's continued operation. Annual mileage accumulation remains remarkably consistent, averaging approximately 8,000 to 9,500 miles per year throughout the recorded history. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has been used as a regular commuter rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which typically helps prevent the issues associated with long-term storage. The jump from 99,803 miles in August 2021 to the current 133,471 miles confirms the car is still covering significant distance, meaning mechanical components are subject to ongoing fatigue. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension setup, as the persistent coil spring corrosion noted since August 2024 requires immediate investigation to ensure structural integrity. You should also verify the condition of the offside front tyre, as the inner edge wear flagged in the latest test often points to underlying tracking or suspension geometry misalignment that needs correction to prevent premature tyre replacement. Finally, check the rear seat belt webbing for fraying, as this is a safety-critical item that will necessitate a replacement before the next inspection.
