2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FG61 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history, with the most recent test conducted on 11 October 2022 at 188,069 miles passing with no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes over five years suggests the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical failure or safety-critical de-compliance during the recorded testing periods. The mileage accumulation is consistent and high, averaging approximately 12,500 miles per year. Between September 2018 and October 2022, the car covered 58,662 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of inactivity. While this consistent usage indicates the vehicle was driven regularly, it also places significant strain on high-wear components such as the drivetrain, suspension geometry, and braking system. Because the last recorded MOT was nearly four years ago today, the current mechanical state of the vehicle is unknown and likely differs significantly from the condition of the 2022 test. Given the high mileage and the lapse since the last official inspection, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to high-frequency wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or leakage, which are common on Fistas exceeding 150,000 miles. The braking system requires a check for binding calipers and thin discs. Furthermore, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough examination of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points where high mileage often accelerates the degradation of protective coatings.
