2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FD11 OGL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 13 May 2025 at 130,050 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While a failure occurred in early May 2023, the subsequent clean passes in the following years suggest that the owner addressed any identified faults promptly and maintained the vehicle. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2024, the car covered 18,075 miles, followed by a further 7,693 miles between the May 2024 and 2025 tests. This regular usage pattern suggests typical operation rather than long periods of neglect, which is often beneficial for maintaining engine seals and preventing the dry-rot issues associated with low-mileage stationary vehicles. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a Fiesta of this age and 130,000-mile interval. Prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade at this mileage despite clean MOT results. You should also inspect for structural corrosion on the sills and check the condition of the brake discs, as the MOT only tests for minimum thickness and immediate failure rather than overall component health.
