FORD FIESTA2011 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 23 September 2024 at 51,246 miles with no recorded defects. While the history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes on the same day, the clean results of the last two consecutive tests suggest that the previous owner was proactive in rectifying issues once they were identified. The mechanical trend remains consistent, with no evidence of worsening mechanical degradation or structural decline. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 51,246 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,416 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with only 2,536 miles covered between October 2022 and September 2023, and 4,840 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often exposes vehicles to age-related degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and brake components which can perish from standing still regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to low-mileage neglect. Check the chassis for signs of corrosion, particularly in the sills and wheel arches, as moisture can settle on cars that are infrequently. Inspect the suspension bushes and brake calipers for seizing, as low-frequency use can lead to seized pistons or perished rubber. Given the failures in 2022 and 2024, verify that the specific items that caused those initial failures were replaced with high-quality parts rather than temporary fixes.
