2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CV61 EPK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 3 April 2026 with no recorded defects. This recent pass follows a consistent trend of clean test results spanning the last four years. While the record shows a failure on 8 April 2025, the vehicle passed a subsequent test only two days later on 10 April 2025, suggesting that the initial failure was likely rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend remains stable, as the vehicle has cleared its last four annual inspections without any logged advisories. The recorded mileage of 143,801 miles over a 15-year lifespan averages approximately 9,587 miles per annum. This accumulation is consistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The MOT data provided shows a steady progression of mileage between 2023 and 2026, indicating that the car has remained in regular use rather than experiencing prolonged periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical systems that do not always trigger immediate MOT failure. Despite the clean test history, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these components often degrade through natural fatigue rather than sudden failure. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of thinning or uneven wear, and verify the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion that may have developed since the last inspection. Given the age and mileage, assessing the engine bay for fluid leaks and checking the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for hidden corrosion remains essential. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.
