2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV61 EXH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of intermittent failures. The most recent inspection conducted on 02 September 2025 at 56,949 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet legal requirements. While the history shows failures in previous years, the ability to pass subsequent tests without advisories suggests the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain DVSA standards. At 56,949 miles, this 2011 Ford Fiesta has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This usage pattern is consistent across the record, with a gap of roughly 3,100 miles between the September 2023 and 2024 tests. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between annual use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or the seizing of brake calipers due to lack of regular heat and movement. A buyer should pay close attention to the specific issues that caused the failures in 2023 and 2024, as the exact mechanical faults were not detailed in this summary. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection must focus on structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, which often affects older Fiesta models regardless of mileage. Additionally, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines, as these parts age through time more than they wear out through driven miles. Despite the clean recent pass, the low-use history warrants a thorough check for fluid degradation and tyre perish rot.
