FORD FIESTA2011 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle holds a valid MOT pass dated 8 July 2026 at 81,917 miles, secured only after a same-day failure for a fractured offside front coil spring. Maintenance trend has shifted from stable to worsening. Testers flagged rear coil spring corrosion, general underside corrosion, pitted front brake discs and perishing rear tyre on the pass. These new structural and mechanical advisories eclipse the minor bush wear noted in earlier years. Recorded mileages expose extremely low use for a 2011 car. On 9 September 2022 the odometer read 80,620 miles. By 24 June 2024 it showed just 80,645 miles, a 25-mile gain over 21 months that confirms long storage. Annual tests then logged 81,471 miles in July 2025 and 81,917 miles in July 2026. Such sparse running invites rubber perishing and corrosion, as the record later proves. Buyers must physically inspect the rear sub-frame pins and bushes. Every test from 2022 to 2026 recorded wear here, though never excessive movement. The fractured front coil spring demands proof of proper replacement and checks for sibling spring fatigue. Underside corrosion and corroded rear coil spring require scrutiny for structural integrity beyond surface scale. Front brake discs scored and pitted at the latest test should be measured for thickness. Tyre condition reflects age more than wear. The offside rear showed edge wear in 2022 and 2025, slight damage in 2024, and cracking in 2026. Previous owners allowed the car to stand idle and skipped timely tyre renewal. No evidence of drivetrain fault exists, but the pattern suggests basic upkeep was deferred during dormancy.
