2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MT61 AEP

This Ford Fiesta presents a stable maintenance record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 02 October 2023 at 100,183 miles resulting in a clean pass. The absence of recorded defects in the last three consecutive tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard. While the 2022 failure appears to be a clerical or administrative anomaly given the immediate retest pass the following day, the overall trend indicates a well-kept vehicle that has avoided persistent mechanical failures. The vehicle has covered 100,183 miles over a fifteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,679 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate domestic driving. The record shows a notable gap in testing between February 2021 and June 2022, likely reflecting the disruption of the pandemic era or a period of reduced usage. Mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 7,800 miles added between the 2022 and 2023 tests, confirming the car remains in regular operation rather than suffering from the long-term storage issues often associated with low-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components that fall outside the scope of a standard test. Prospective buyers should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these rubber and metal parts often degrade due to age regardless of mileage. Inspect the underside for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points. Given the current date of July 2026, the vehicle is now significantly overdue for a fresh MOT, meaning the status of consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres is currently unknown. A comprehensive inspection should focus on these items to ensure the vehicle remains fit for the road.
