2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · OY11 AHO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 67,917 miles, confirming roadworthiness despite a recorded minor exhaust gas leak and full‑system corrosion noted under 6.1.2 (a). The trend over the past five years shows a stable maintenance pattern, with recurring but minor defects such as worn suspension components, brake disc pitting and tyre perishing, rather than any clear worsening of major mechanical failures. Mileage has increased at a modest rate of roughly 4,500 miles per year since the 2014 test at 23,335 miles, reflecting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The intervals between successive tests are regular, with no abrupt jumps in recorded mileage, and the progression from 47,594 miles in 2021 to 67,917 miles in 2026 demonstrates a consistent, gradual accumulation without large gaps. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension arm pins and bushes, which have been flagged as worn in multiple tests from 2021 onward, and to the condition of the brake discs, which show repeated pitting and wear but have not been deemed seriously weakened. The exhaust system’s corrosion and leak, the corroded coil springs, the perishing tyres, the central front oil leak, and the off‑side front brake pipe covered in grease are also recurring concerns that merit detailed visual and functional inspection. In summary, while the Fiesta currently meets the legal standards for roadworthiness, the concentration of advisories on suspension, braking and exhaust components suggests that additional maintenance may be required soon. A thorough in‑person examination of these areas, together with a check of tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, will help determine whether the vehicle’s low mileage translates into genuine longevity or merely deferred wear.
