2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MT61 AED

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-15 at 43,166 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date also shows a failure with no recorded issues, creating ambiguity in the maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-12-16 (40,904 miles) and 2023-12-19 (38,849 miles) were both passed with no defects, indicating a stable record over the past three years. The lack of advisories or critical failures suggests the car has been maintained to a basic standard, though the duplicate entry for 2025-12-15 raises questions about the reliability of the data. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,166 miles at 15 years old equates to approximately 2,878 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests either infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of movement. The consistent mileage increments between tests—36,735 (2022-12-21) to 43,166 (2025-12-15)—show no abrupt spikes, implying steady, low-volume usage. However, the absence of high-mileage wear indicators limits confidence in the vehicle’s long-term mechanical health. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for dry rot in bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has been stationary for extended periods. The exhaust system and underbody should also be scrutinized for rust, as reduced usage may have allowed moisture to accumulate. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the low mileage and ambiguous recent test results necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s structural and mechanical integrity.
