2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV61 EXP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistently clean testing record. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 26,824 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, continuing a trend of high-standard maintenance. While a failure occurred earlier in September 2023 at 24,537 miles, the immediate rectification indicates that the issues were addressed promptly to return the car to regulatory compliance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,788 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 23,423 miles and the September 2025 test at 26,824 miles, the car covered only 3,401 miles. This low usage suggests mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components is minimal. However, long periods of inactivity can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown that MOT tests may not capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time rather than mileage-related wear. Check for cracking in suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which often perish despite low mileage. Given the age of the Fiesta, examine the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches for corrosion. You should also verify that the brake discs and calipers are free of excessive pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles are prone to surface rust on the braking system.
