2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AJ11 SCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 June 2025 at 123,404 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows significant improvement following a period of mechanical neglect. While the car suffered from critical suspension failures in 2023, the subsequent clean test sheets indicate that the necessary repairs were addressed and the vehicle has since maintained a stable state of mechanical health. The mileage pattern is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 8,000 miles between July 2023 and July 2024, and another 8,000 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is driven consistently rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals, rubber components, and brakes to prevent seizing or excessive corrosion. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry, as the history reveals recurring issues with ball joints, track rod ends, and anti-roll bar linkages. The 2022 test flagged minor play in the offside front components, which escalated into a total failure in 2023 due to excessive wear on the nearside ball joint. Although these have likely been replaced, a technician should check for any remaining play or movement in the steering assembly to ensure the quality of the previous repairs. The 2024 test also noted an insecure front registration plate and a loose central lower undertray. While these are minor defects, they indicate a lack of basic attention to vehicle fit previously. The buyer should verify that the undertray is now securely fastened and check for signs of corrosion on the structural mounting points, which is common for a Fiesta of this age and mileage.
