2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EN60 WFW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of emerging mechanical wear with age. The most recent test on 23 March 2026 at 71,321 miles identified a non-excessive oil leak. While the car passed, this follows a period of fluctuating faults involving the steering and suspension, suggesting that the vehicle is entering a phase where aged components require proactive attention despite the low overall mileage. At 15 years old, the recorded 71,321 miles represent a very low annual average of approximately 4,755 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent across the last four years, with intervals of roughly 1,800 to 2,000 miles between annual tests. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and interior, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of parts due to inactivity, which aligns with the steering and suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension and steering assembly. The 2023 test at 64,946 miles flagged play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint, followed by a reported knocking in the steering in March 2025 at 69,606 miles. These entries suggest that the ball joints, tie rods, and steering rack bushings are nearing failure. Additionally, the oil leak identified in the 2026 test should be located to ensure that gaskets or engine seals have not perished to the point of requiring expensive major repairs in the near future.
