2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CP11 SVJ

This 2011 Ford Fiesta has demonstrated consistent roadworthiness over its MOT history, with every test since 2021 passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2025-08-11 at 68,824 miles confirms no outstanding mechanical or safety concerns, though the absence of any recorded issues across five consecutive tests means no trends—either worsening or improving—can be established. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions standards and structural integrity has remained unchallenged, though the lack of advisories in prior tests also means no prior warnings about recurring problems like suspension wear, brake binding, or corrosion. The recorded mileage of 68,824 miles over 15 years suggests unusually light usage, averaging just 4,588 miles annually. This pattern is notable for its consistency, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps between tests. The most recent interval between 2024-08-13 (63,916 miles) and 2025-08-11 (68,824 miles) reflects a modest 4,908 miles in a year, reinforcing the vehicle’s low-usage profile. While this could indicate careful ownership or extended periods of non-use, it also means some components—such as tyres, brake pads, and suspension bushes—may have aged beyond their typical lifespan for higher-mileage vehicles. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear items that aren’t directly tested under MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to fatigue over 15 years even with low mileage. Examine the brake system for uneven wear or corrosion on calipers and discs, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Tyre tread depth and lateral wear patterns should be checked, as the lack of MOT advisories on tyres suggests they may have been replaced recently or could be approaching their limit. Finally, inspect for signs of structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as rust can develop silently even in low-mileage vehicles.
