2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MV11 ACF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over several years. The most recent test on 24 July 2025 at 42,726 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. Although the vehicle technically failed on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the subsequent pass suggests an administrative or very minor item that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure or recurring structural weakness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 2,850 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the October 2022 test at 38,350 miles and the January 2024 test at 39,240 miles, where the car covered only 990 miles in fifteen months. This low-frequency usage typically reduces wear on the engine, drivetrain, and brakes, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation of components. The vehicle has likely sat for long periods, which can lead to dry seals and fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-related wear. Inspect the rubberized suspension bushes for perished cracks and check the coil springs for corrosion, as these degrade over time regardless of distance. Given the low mileage, examine the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers caused by infrequent use. Additionally, verify the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as low-mile vehicles often require new rubber before the tread depth is exhausted.
