2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · BV61 BWH

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness remains stable, as the MOT record demonstrates consistent passing through all tests up to the most recent date. However, the maintenance history reveals a clear deterioration trend, particularly concerning the suspension and braking systems. The most recent test on 2026-01-19 at 68,955 miles was passed, but this date is significantly older than the current date, indicating that the vehicle has experienced a substantial period of inactivity since the last inspection. The mileage accumulation is notable, with the vehicle averaging approximately 68,000 miles annually. While this rate is low for a 2011 model, it raises questions about the quality of the drivetrain components. The data shows that the front brake pads are wearing thin, and the suspension components, including swivel pins and bushes, are exhibiting signs of wear that has not been addressed in a timely manner. The fact that the rear reversing lamp is inoperative and the coil springs are corroded further suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a comprehensive tune-up or replacement of these critical parts. A buyer should inspect the vehicle personally to assess the structural integrity of the suspension and the condition of the brake components. The recurrent failure of the rear reversing lamp and the corrosion of the coil springs indicate that the vehicle has suffered from corrosion and wear, which can lead to a loss of structural integrity. The suspension bushes and swivel pins have started to split, suggesting that the bushings may need to be replaced soon to prevent further damage to the steering column. The steering column knock further confirms that the suspension bushings are likely to fail under the weight of the vehicle, necessitating immediate professional assessment to ensure the vehicle will not be unsafe to drive.
