2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EY61 YFB

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 June 2025 at 50,747 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the June 2024 records show a failed test on 12 June at 49,122 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical fault. The three preceding annual tests in June 2023, June 2022, and earlier all passed cleanly with no advisories. The recorded mileage reflects very low use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 45,655 miles at the 29 June 2022 test to 47,475 miles in June 2023, then 49,122 miles in June 2024, and 50,747 miles by June 2025. That equates to roughly 1,600 to 1,700 miles per year across the recorded period, well below the typical average. Such low accumulation suggests light domestic use or extended standing periods, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the last four years. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural members and brake components even when test advisories are absent. The DVSA record shows no recurring faults, so no specific mechanical trend requires correction, but pre-purchase checks on underbody rust and tyre sidewall condition remain prudent on a low-mileage 2011 hatchback.
