Our Verdict
Exercise caution before buying this 2011 Ford Fiesta diesel as it has a mixed MOT record with recent failures and corrosion concerns. A thorough inspection and proof of recent repairs are essential to avoid unexpected costs.
Before purchasing, insist on seeing evidence that the February 2026 MOT failures were properly rectified — specifically the offside front tyre cut, nearisde rear nail, and exhaust emissions exceedance, as the vehicle passed two days later on 123,986 miles. The seller should provide a fresh service history showing regular oil changes and timing belt intervals for the 1560cc diesel engine, which is critical at this mileage. Use the recent failures as negotiation leverage; a set of tyres, potential DPF or emissions repair, and corrosion treatment could easily cost several hundred pounds.
