Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution due to very
Given the mileage of nearly 194,000 miles, any purchase should be preceded by a thorough mechanical inspection. Focus specifically on the engine and drivetrain, as the MOT history has recorded oil leaks in both 2023 and 2024. You should ask for evidence of recent repairs to the suspension, as 'component pin or bush' wear was noted on both nearside and offside rear suspension in late 2024.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the fact that the vehicle has required multiple repairs to pass its MOTs. Ensure that the windscreen washer system and all lighting (specifically headlamp aim) have been checked, as these were recent failure points. A full service history is essential to see how the 1.4L diesel engine has been maintained over its long life.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency, likely offering decent fuel economy for motorway commuting. However, maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and high mileage, with components like suspension bushes and tyres needing more frequent attention.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2011 Fiesta are typically moderate, but insurance could be affected by the vehicle's age and usage profile. Expect annual running costs to be driven primarily by fuel and the necessity of addressing wear-and-tear items common to high-mileage diesel engines.
Prioritise an inspection of the engine bay for any signs of active oil leaks, following the 'oil leak' advisories recorded in 2023 and 2024. Check the underside of the car for any signs of weeping from the engine or gearbox.
Inspect the suspension components thoroughly; the 2024 MOT specifically flagged worn pins or bushes in the rear suspension. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres and the operation of the windscreen washer system, both of which have been recorded as failure points in the recent history. Finally, verify the headlamp alignment, as this was a recorded failure in December 2023.
This 2011 silver Ford Fiesta 1.4 diesel has covered 193,629 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of issues including oil leaks, suspension wear, and washer system failures. While the most recent test was a pass with no defects, the vehicle's high mileage and previous failures suggest a demanding usage history.
The Ford Fiesta is a high-volume model with a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across the dataset, with common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
