Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Given the recent MOT failure, you should verify that the 'front oil leak' noted in September 2025 has been properly rectified and is not a symptom of a larger engine issue. Ask for receipts or evidence of the work carried out to address the leak and the axle swivel pin/bush wear.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the history of suspension-related advisories. Check the service history specifically for oil changes, as the 1.6 diesel engine requires consistent maintenance to mitigate the risks associated with the oil leak identified in the latest MOT.
The 1560cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering good fuel economy for long-distance driving. However, at 136,502 miles, maintenance costs may increase as components like suspension bushes and ball joints appear to be wear items on this specific vehicle.
Insurance groups for a 2011 Fiesta are generally moderate, but you should obtain a specific quote. Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic timing belt changes if not already documented, and factor in the potential for further suspension repairs given the recent MOT history.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows recurring issues with suspension arm ball joints (noted in 2022 and 2023) and axle swivel pins/bushes (noted in 2025). A mechanic should check the integrity of the entire suspension system.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of residual oil to ensure the 'front oil leak' mentioned in the 2025 failure has been fully addressed. Check the condition of the tyres, as the 2023 record highlighted cracking or perishing on the nearside rear tyre.
This 2011 blue Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel has covered 136,502 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,770 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding suspension components and ball joints. The most recent test in September 2025 involved a failure due to an oil leak and axle swivel pin wear, though these were resolved for the pass.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures related to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
