2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CK61 ABO

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history over the past three years, with the most recent test on 5 March 2025 at 111,603 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the 2024 and 2023 passes at 106,359 and 98,675 miles respectively. The absence of advisories or failures in this period suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues to indicate worsening problems. The only anomaly is the duplicate 2024-03-04 entry , where the car was both passed and failed under the same mileage—a clerical error rather than a technical concern. This consistency implies the Fiesta has either been well cared for by its owner or, if neglected, has benefited from luck in avoiding critical wear. No evidence of suspension, brake, or emissions failures emerges, which would typically signal deeper mechanical neglect. The mileage accumulation of 7,440 miles per year aligns with average usage for a vehicle of this age, neither excessively high nor suspiciously low. The gaps between tests— approximately 12 months apart —are standard, with no prolonged periods without inspection that might suggest avoidance of maintenance. The 5,244-mile jump between February 2023 (98,675 miles) and March 2024 (106,359 miles) is modest and does not raise red flags for rapid wear. However, the lack of advisories or defects in any test means there’s no data to confirm whether components like coil springs, brake discs, or suspension bushes have been proactively replaced. This clean record could reflect either meticulous upkeep or, less likely, a vehicle that has simply avoided common failure points. For a buyer, the primary focus should lie on consumable and high-wear components not covered by the MOT, particularly brake pads, discs, and fluid , given the Fiesta’s age and mileage. The rear brakes should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as past tests show no advisories that might have prompted their inspection. Suspension components —such as bushings, ball joints, and coil springs—should be assessed for wear, especially if the car has been driven on rough roads. Exhaust emissions may now exceed limits if the vehicle has been driven heavily since the last test, though the 2025 pass suggests it was compliant at that time. Structural corrosion should be scrutinised under the sills, wheel arches, and rear tailgate, areas prone to rust in Fiestas of this vintage. While the MOT history is reassuring, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic would be prudent to verify the absence of hidden wear.
