2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CF11 LLG

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford Fiesta is stable following a clean pass on 4 September 2025 at 46,486 miles. While the vehicle failed its initial test on that same day due to an exhaust emissions fault and tyre degradation, these issues were addressed immediately to secure the pass. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive servicing, as the vehicle frequently enters the test bay with consumable items already at or beyond their service limits. The recorded mileage of 46,486 over fifteen years averages approximately 3,099 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. This low usage is consistent across the documented history, with steady annual increments of roughly 2,000 to 4,500 miles between tests. There are no concerning gaps in the MOT history, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular, albeit light, operation throughout its life. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, as the history indicates a recurring issue with perishing rubber. The suspension system, specifically the rear coil springs, requires close scrutiny given the corrosion noted in the 2022 test. You should also verify the current condition of the exhaust system, as minor leaks were flagged as recently as 2024. Confirm that the emissions fault resolved in 2025 has not returned, as this can often point to underlying issues with the catalytic converter or oxygen sensors in older petrol engines.
