2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EN60 PVP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test on 16 October 2023 at 160,144 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This followed a failure just five days prior at nearly identical mileage, which suggests a minor, non-structural issue was identified and rectified immediately before the re-test. The lack of advisories in the latest inspection indicates that the vehicle currently meets minimum safety standards despite its high mileage. At 160,144 miles, the Fiesta has covered an average of approximately 10,676 miles per year, which aligns closely with UK national averages for a passenger car of this age. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 13,000 miles covered between September 2021 and October 2022, and another 13,272 miles between October 2022 and October 2023. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use, which generally benefits the integrity of seals and rubber components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear components that are prone to fatigue at this stage. Given the clean MOT history, the focus shifts to checking the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints for signs of play or perished rubber. The buyer should also inspect the brake discs for uneven wear and calipers for binding, as the MOT record does not capture these emerging mechanical failures. Since the vehicle is now nearly three years past its last recorded test, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion is essential to ensure no significant rust has developed since the 2023 inspection.
