FORD FIESTA2011 · 1.2L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 164,617 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to March 2023, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 10,974 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years. Between the March 2024 test at 143,576 miles and the March 2025 test at 153,874 miles, the car covered 10,298 miles. A further 10,743 miles were added by the March 2026 test. This linear usage pattern indicates the vehicle is in regular service rather than sitting idle, which generally helps prevent seals from perishing and brakes from seizing. The absence of advisories across several years is unusual for a Ford Fiesta of this age and mileage. While the record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as MOT testers sometimes overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Given the 164,617 mile odometer reading, a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is recommended to identify any wear that has not yet reached a failure threshold. The drivetrain and braking system should be scrutinized during a test drive. High mileage often leads to gradual degradation of engine mounts and brake disc thinning, neither of which always trigger an MOT failure until they become critical. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these are critical maintenance items that the MOT process does not verify.
