2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EO61 WRR

This 2011 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 25 September 2025—just over nine months ago. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has not experienced recurring mechanical issues requiring attention during standard MOT testing. However, the most recent test date places it slightly beyond the optimal window for a pre-purchase inspection, as the MOT cycle is now approaching its end. While the record indicates no obvious red flags, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in areas not routinely assessed by MOT, such as suspension bush deterioration, drivetrain fluid condition, or subtle corrosion in underbody components. The recorded mileage of 66,764 miles at 15 years old aligns with a conservative usage pattern, averaging approximately 4,451 miles annually. This suggests minimal high-speed or heavy-duty driving, which could mitigate some forms of accelerated wear. There are no evident gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, indicating consistent, low-mileage operation over the past five years. While this pattern reduces concerns over excessive consumable wear, it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly or driven infrequently, potentially accelerating issues like battery degradation, tyre degradation from prolonged static loading, or suspension components seizing due to lack of movement. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, given the age of the vehicle and the lack of advisories to suggest proactive maintenance. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, warrant scrutiny for uneven pad wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stood for extended periods. Underbody corrosion should be checked thoroughly, focusing on the sills, wheel arches, and subframe—areas prone to salt damage even with low mileage. Fluid levels and condition in the engine, gearbox, and differential should also be verified, as these are not routinely tested and can deteriorate silently over time. The battery health and electrical connections are worth assessing, as infrequent use can lead to parasitic drain or terminal corrosion.
