Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a detailed inspection of the braking system. MOT records from 2022 and 2025 specifically mention brake fluctuation and the need for adjustment, which suggests a persistent issue rather than a one-off wear item. Verify if these have been professionally addressed in the service history.
Check the service records for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical for this diesel engine. Given the 2024 failure for a suspension arm ball joint and exposed tyre cords, ensure that the replacement parts were of a high standard and that the wheel alignment is currently correct.
The 1.4L diesel engine typically offers good fuel economy, making it suitable for higher mileage drivers. However, as a 2011 diesel, it will fall into a specific tax band that may be higher than newer petrol equivalents. Insurance groups for the Fiesta are generally low, keeping annual premiums manageable.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though the MOT history suggests a propensity for suspension and brake wear. Including fuel, tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance for a vehicle of this age and mileage, the annual cost is estimated to be mid-range.
Focus on the braking system; test the pedal feel and check for any fluctuation, as noted in the December 2025 MOT advisory. Inspect the nearside front suspension area to ensure the ball joint replaced in 2024 is secure and showing no new signs of play.
Check the exhaust system and coil springs for corrosion or leaks, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Fiesta model aggregate. Finally, inspect all tyres for uneven wear, following the 2023 and 2024 records of worn and exposed cords on the nearside front.
This 2011 black Ford Fiesta 1.4L diesel has recorded 105,011 miles. Its MOT history reveals a failure in December 2024 due to a worn tyre and suspension ball joint, and it has had multiple advisories concerning the braking system dating back to 2022. The vehicle's mileage is significantly higher than the aggregate average for this model.
The Ford Fiesta shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across a massive sample of over 1.5 million vehicles.
