2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EX11 WHH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 at 108,022 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of neglect in early 2024. While the latest test indicates a clean sheet, the transition from a significant failure to a clean pass suggests that the owner addressed major faults only when prompted, rather than following a preventative schedule. At 108,022 miles over 15 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 7,200 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate usage. There is a notable gap in the records between September 2022 and January 2024, where the vehicle covered over 7,400 miles in just four months. However, the usage has since stabilized to roughly 8,400 miles between February 2025 and February 2026. This consistent annual mileage explains the wear observed on rubber-based components and braking hardware. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension during a physical inspection. The failure in January 2024 was caused by excessively worn ball joints on both front lower arms, a common failure point on this model that can affect steering geometry if not replaced. Check for play in the steering and any knocks when traversing uneven surfaces. The recurring advisories regarding uneven tyre wear in 2024 and 2025 suggest a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation. The braking system also shows a history of thin pads and pitted discs as of early 2024. While these were likely replaced following the failure, the age of the vehicle means calipers should be checked for seizing or perished rubber lines. Given the advisory for perishing on the offside rear tyre in 2025, inspect the sidewalls of all remaining tyres for cracking to ensure the rubber has not become brittle to age despite having sufficient tread.
