2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AA02 ALF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 04 September 2023 at 105,718 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the car met minimum legal standards at that time. This followed a failure just three days prior at nearly identical mileage, which suggests a minor, easily rectifyable fault or administrative oversight that the previous owner addressed immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 85,186 miles and September 2022 at 91,396 miles, the car covered roughly 6,200 miles, followed by a higher interval of 14,322 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of mechanical seals and rubber components. While the record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of common wear points for a fifteen-year-old Fiesta. Given the mileage exceeds 100,000 miles, look for signs of perished suspension bushes, worn coil springs, and leaking shock absorbers. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as the MOT test does not detect surface rust until it becomes structurally significant. Since the last test was conducted nearly three years ago, the current state of the brake pads, discs, and tyre tread depth requires immediate verification to ensure no significant degradation has occurred in the elapsed interval.
