Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a high-mileage runaround with a clean recent MOT record. While the mileage is high, the lack of recent defects is a positive indicator for this specific silver 1.2L petrol model.
Given the mileage of 120,859, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure regular oil changes and timing belt replacements have occurred. Because this is the 1242cc petrol variant, check for any signs of smooth engine performance and consistent idling.
When negotiating, consider the high mileage against the current market value. Ask for evidence of recent work on consumables such as brakes, suspension components, and tyres, as these are common areas of wear on high-mileage Fiestas. Ensure the silver paintwork is free from significant corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be reasonable for a small hatchback of this era, though high mileage can impact efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Typical maintenance costs for a Fiesta of this age involve routine servicing, brake replacements, and tyre changes. Expect annual running costs to be relatively predictable, provided the vehicle is maintained according to manufacturer intervals.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and tyre condition, as these are the most frequent failure points for Fiestas in our database. Even though this specific vehicle had no defects in its 2025 MOT, these components still require physical inspection.
Check the underside for signs of exhaust corrosion and ensure the tyres have adequate tread depth and no uneven wear. Additionally, inspect the headlights for any clouding or moisture ingress, which can lead to MOT failures.
This 2011 Ford Fiesta has covered 120,859 miles since its first registration in June 2011. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 recording no defects. While it has seen significant use, the vehicle has maintained a steady pass rate over the last four recorded years.
The Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6% across 1.5 million analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to lighting, exhaust, and tyres.
