2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FD11 ADZ

The 2011 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-01-23 at 59,331 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2025-01-27 (56,271 miles) and 2024-01-22 (51,754 miles) also showed no issues, though a failed test on the same date as a passed one (2025-01-27) without recorded defects raises ambiguity. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests consistent compliance, with no escalating concerns in braking, suspension, or structural integrity. The recorded mileage of 59,331 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 3,955 annual miles, significantly below average for its age. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion or fluid stagnation. Gaps between MOT tests, such as the 12-month interval between 2023-01-25 (46,870 miles) and 2024-01-22 (51,754 miles), suggest irregular servicing, though no defects were flagged. The absence of recurring issues in the record implies no systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should inspect for signs of long-term inactivity, such as dry-rotted rubber components, seized suspension bushes, or corroded underbody panels, particularly around the exhaust system and wheel arches. While no structural or braking faults were noted, the low mileage and sporadic MOT history warrant a thorough check of fluid levels, battery condition, and steering linkage play. The vehicle’s mechanical state appears sound, but its usage history necessitates a pre-purchase inspection to confirm no hidden deterioration has occurred.
