Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent struc
If you are considering this vehicle, your primary focus must be on the underside of the car. The 2025 MOT failure specifically cited front sub-frame corrosion and an excessively corroded offside front brake pipe. You should inspect these areas personally or have a mechanic verify that the corrosion noted in October 2025 has been properly treated or replaced, rather than just surface-cleaned.
Additionally, check the suspension components. The 2023 MOT record noted play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint. While this was passed, it indicates that suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. Ask the seller for evidence of any recent work performed to address the sub-frame and brake pipe issues mentioned in the most recent failure report.
As a 1.2L petrol engine, this Fiesta is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be decent for a small hatchback, though the high mileage may affect efficiency if maintenance is deferred.
Maintenance costs for this model typically involve regular replacement of consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension parts. Given the recent MOT failures related to corrosion, you should budget for potential upcoming structural or braking system repairs. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,100-£1,400.
The most critical inspection point is the front sub-frame. The 2025 MOT failure explicitly identified corrosion (5.3.3 (b) (i)). You must ensure this is not just surface rust but has been addressed to a standard that prevents further structural degradation.
Secondly, inspect the braking system, specifically the brake pipes. The offside front brake pipe was flagged for excessive corrosion in the 2025 test. Check for any signs of weeping fluid or further degradation in the lines. Finally, check the suspension for any knocking or uneven tyre wear, following the previous advisory regarding the nearside front ball joint in 2023.
This 2011 silver Ford Fiesta 1.2L petrol has covered 102,064 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,770 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of wear-related issues, most recently involving front sub-frame corrosion and a corroded brake pipe in October 2025. While it has passed several tests, the recent failures suggest the vehicle is entering a stage of its life where structural and plumbing maintenance is critical.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
