2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AX11 FOH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on August 1, 2024 at 119,372 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at nearly the same mileage. This suggests the owner rectified a specific issue immediately rather than allowing faults to persist into mechanical failure. Since the 2022 pass, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories, indicating a consistent level of maintenance in recent years. The recorded mileage of 119,372 miles over fifteen years averages to approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical annual usage patterns for an older hatchback in the UK. The data shows a significant gap in activity between July 2022 (102,092 miles) and February 2023 (107,034 miles), covering roughly 5,000 miles in seven months, followed by another 12,000 miles over the following year. This steady mileage profile suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have been subjected to regular use rather than the degradation associated with long periods of stationary storage. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for corrosion or mechanical wear, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of common Fiesta failure points that testing might miss. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for rust, as these often do not appear flagged until they reach a critical state. Given the failures in 2023 and 2024 that were resolved quickly, the buyer should also verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines to ensure the recent repairs were comprehensive rather than temporary fixes.
