2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CK61 AAV

The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-18 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed without defects at 108,564 miles. Over the past five tests, there is no evidence of recurring mechanical or structural failures, though the single failure in November 2023—just eight miles before passing—was likely procedural rather than indicative of a persistent issue. The absence of advisories or repeated faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though no evidence of proactive servicing or wear-and-tear tracking is visible. The most recent test occurred just six months ago, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age and mileage. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage, averaging around 7,200 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this age. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, indicating no prolonged periods of neglect or rapid wear. The only notable outlier is the November 2023 failure, occurring just eight miles before passing, which may reflect an administrative oversight rather than a mechanical trend. The steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without extreme conditions, though this does not preclude internal wear. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not routinely checked by MOT standards. Focus on the suspension system—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in a 15-year-old vehicle. The brakes, though not flagged, should be assessed for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the rear discs, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. Structural integrity, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, should also be scrutinised for signs of rust penetration, as this is often missed in MOT tests but can compromise safety. Tyre condition, while not recorded in failures, warrants verification, as the absence of tread-related defects in MOTs could mask uneven wear or low tread depth.
