2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CE61 ACJ

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-19 at 98,535 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, a preceding failed test on the same date at 98,533 miles—just 2 miles prior—remains unexplained, as no defects were logged. This anomaly suggests a potential administrative error or misclassification, but the absence of recorded issues in both tests implies no immediate mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows consistent compliance, with no recurring faults or escalating defects over the past four years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,569 miles annually. The records show steady accumulation: 90,411 miles in 2022, rising to 93,080 by 2023, 96,000 in 2024, and 98,535 in 2025. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident, indicating regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity. This pattern reduces the likelihood of undetected corrosion or component degradation from standing, though age-related wear remains a factor. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of suspension components, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear items in this model. The absence of brake-related defects in MOT records does not preclude a manual check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear. Corrosion under the vehicle, especially around the exhaust system and chassis, warrants attention, as does the condition of the exhaust emissions system. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2025 failed test’s unresolved status merits clarification to confirm the vehicle’sTrue mechanical state.
