2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CF11 LLX

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical profile as of its most recent assessment. Passing the 31 March 2025 test at 183,249 miles with no recorded defects confirms current roadworthiness. A pattern of clean passes dominates the timeline, though two failed tests in 2022 and 2023 warrant scrutiny. Both failures occurred on the same day as their respective passes—6 July 2022 and 18 July 2023—suggesting initial failures followed by immediate retests rather than chronic unresolved issues. Accumulating 183,249 miles over fifteen years yields an annual average of roughly 12,217 miles, reflecting sustained high usage rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The record shows consistent accumulation: 145,825 miles in July 2022, 159,153 miles by July 2023, and 183,249 miles in March 2025. The 24,000-mile jump between July 2023 and March 2025 indicates a recent acceleration in use. Despite this high mileage, the MOT history is remarkably sparse, containing no advisories or mechanical failures beyond the same-day retests. Even with a clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on components typical of a high-mileage Fiesta. Suspension bushes and coil springs will likely exhibit wear after 183,249 miles, potentially leading to premature failure between tests. Brake discs and binding calipers also demand close inspection, as high usage accelerates wear. Structural integrity requires thorough checking; corrosion often develops on older models, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. A lack of recorded defects does not guarantee the absence of hard-to-detect issues like exhaust emissions deterioration or drivetrain slack.
