Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 91,765 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2022. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,118 miles per year. The distance covered between the October 2023 test at 77,387 miles and the October 2024 test at 85,632 miles shows a steady increase of 8,245 miles. Use has remained regular, which generally prevents the perishing of rubber components and seals often seen in vehicles that stand for long periods. The absence of any advisories or failures over the last four years is uncommon for a 2011 model. There are no recorded issues regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion. The lack of mentioned structural rust or exhaust emissions failures suggests a well-maintained example. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and sills to check for surface corrosion that may not have triggered an MOT failure. Checking the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacements is essential, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and does not track internal engine maintenance or fluid intervals.

Our Verdict

A functional budget option, provided the

Prioritise the suspension during your inspection. The rear axle bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting a long-term issue that may soon require costly replacement. Use this as a negotiation point for the final price.

Check the service records for evidence of regular oil changes and specifically look for the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.242L petrol engine. Ensure all exterior lights are functioning, following the multiple lamp failures recorded in 2025.

The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering reasonable fuel economy for urban environments. Insurance groups for this model are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its era, keeping fixed costs manageable.

Maintenance costs are generally low due to the wide availability of parts for the Fiesta. However, the estimated annual running cost of £900-£1,200 accounts for fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for suspension work based on the MOT advisories.

Focus heavily on the rear suspension; the MOT history explicitly mentions worn offside and nearside rear axle bushes across two consecutive years. A professional mechanic should assess if these are still within acceptable limits or require immediate replacement.

Inspect the tyres, particularly the nearside rear, which had a cut noted in October 2025. Additionally, check the condition of the registration plates, as they were flagged as deteriorated in 2023 and 2024. Finally, verify that all position and registration lamps are operational to ensure the 2025 electrical failures were fully resolved.

This blue 2011 Ford Fiesta has recorded 91,765 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though the October 2025 test required repairs to the lighting and tyres to achieve a pass. A recurring advisory for worn rear axle bushes has been present since October 2024.

The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
