2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EN11 DXF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a pattern of immediate MOT failures. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 148,112 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 11 miles lower. This sequence suggests that the failures were likely due to minor, easily rectifiable items that the owner addressed immediately, rather than deep-seated mechanical neglect. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three years indicates that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards without pending structural or mechanical red flags. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. Between August 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 11,817 miles, while it clocked another 12,549 miles in the following year leading up to the 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests regular road miles rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing brake component corrosion. The intervals between tests remain consistent, showing a commitment approach to annual testing schedule. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas most prone to wear on high-mileage Festas of this era. While the record shows no current advisories, the mileage warrants checking suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these often degrade after hundred thousand miles. Given the failures in 2024 and 2025, it is prudent to verify what specific components were replaced during those sessions to ensure high-quality workmanship. Inspect the chassis for surface corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred that the clean MOT results might not yet highlight.
