Our Verdict
This 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a general
When inspecting this Fiesta, examine the suspension and exhaust systems closely, as both have attracted advisory or failure notices in recent years. Specifically, check the rear coil springs for the corrosion noted in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests, and verify whether they have been replaced or require imminent attention. Review any accompanying paper or digital service history to confirm how regularly oil changes and general maintenance have been carried out alongside the annual MOT tests.
Negotiate on the price if the tyres or suspension components show signs of wear similar to the 2025 test where multiple tyres were flagged. Ensure all electrical features, including stop lamps which failed in 2025, are fully operational. A pre-purchase inspection by an independent mechanic can provide added reassurance regarding the condition of the underbody and structural components.
The 1.25-litre petrol engine places this Fiesta in a moderate insurance group, making it accessible for newer or younger drivers as well as those seeking economical motoring. Fuel economy is generally favourable for everyday commuting and urban driving, though tax bands for 2011 petrol hatchbacks depend on specific CO2 emissions brackets. Routine maintenance costs should remain modest due to the widespread availability of parts for the Ford Fiesta.
Consumables such as tyres and brakes are competitively priced, though buyers should budget for potential remedial work on the exhaust system and suspension coil springs given their recurring presence on the MOT advisories. Total annual running costs, incorporating fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are estimated around £900 to £1,200 depending on the driver's age, location, and annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the rear coil springs, which have been recorded as corroded on the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests. While they passed the most recent inspection, this recurring note suggests they should be monitored or replaced soon. Inspect the exhaust system for the minor leak of exhaust gases that appeared on tests between 2024 and 2025.
Check the condition and tread depth of all four tyres, cross-referencing against past advisories for edge wear, perishing, and nails. Verify that all exterior lighting functions correctly, particularly the stop lamps following the 2025 failure, and inspect the front suspension components, notably the ball joints, to ensure no excessive wear is present.
First registered in April 2011, this green Ford Fiesta with a 1.25-litre petrol engine has covered 55,639 miles, reflecting an average pace of roughly 3,700 miles per year. Its MOT history shows consistent passes interspersed with standard consumable replacements, including tyres, suspension components, and rear coil springs. Compared to the national model average pass rate of 77.7% across over 1.5 million vehicles, this car has maintained a standard compliance record with only one recorded failure across recent tests.
The Ford Fiesta is one of the UK's most common hatchbacks, supported by an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.7% across more than 1.5 million records, with common failure points typically centred around headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
