2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YG61 ABN

The 2022‑02‑14 MOT at 133,115 miles confirms the 2011 Ford Fiesta is roadworthy, issuing only minor advisories on the near‑side rear swivel pin and bush wear, slight play in the front track rod end, and corrosion of the rear box. The overall trend is stable but shows signs of gradual deterioration, as the same suspension and structural issues reappear in earlier tests, indicating persistent mechanical wear rather than improvement. Mileage has risen from 78,570 miles in the 2017‑12‑15 test to 133,115 miles in the 2022‑02‑14 test, a gain of 54,545 miles over five years, or roughly 10,900 miles per year, which is consistent with normal usage for a vehicle of this age. No large gaps in the record are evident; the intervals between tests are short enough to show continuous operation, with the most recent test being only four years after the previous 2020‑09‑30 pass at 124,119 miles. A buyer should prioritize inspection of the suspension components flagged repeatedly – the rear swivel pin and bush, the front track rod end, and the steering rack – to verify that wear has not progressed beyond the advisory level. The persistent rear box corrosion and the history of oil leaks warrant a close look at the chassis and under‑body for rust penetration and fluid seepage. The earlier brake unevenness also suggests the braking system warrants a thorough examination of pads, discs and calipers, while the recurring inner‑edge tyre wear indicates alignment problems that should be checked.
