2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MT61 ABN

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 61,248 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual examinations from July 2022 through July 2024 also logged passes with no advisories, indicating consistent mechanical integrity. The isolated failure on 28 July 2023 at 54,523 miles, which listed no defects, was immediately followed by a pass at 54,524 miles the same day, suggesting a procedural correction rather than a substantive fault. Mileage accumulation reflects light use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows 51,676 miles in July 2022, rising to 54,524 miles by July 2023, then 57,825 miles in July 2024 and 61,248 miles in July 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 3,700 miles per annum, well below typical averages. Such low annual coverage implies the car spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can accelerate rubber degradation and surface corrosion despite low drivetrain wear. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of age-related components not captured by the clean MOT history. The tester recorded no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural integrity, but standing time raises risk of perished seals and hidden rust in sills or subframes. Scrutinise brake calipers for binding after inactivity and verify exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The absence of recurring defects across five tests signals previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though the unexplained failure entry warrants a check of prior paperwork. Given the low mileage and clean record, a pre-purchase examination by a qualified mechanic remains prudent to confirm unseen wear.
