2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FG61 AEK

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 22 August 2022 at 179,393 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five entries from 2019 to 2022 the vehicle cleared every completed examination without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns during that window. The lone failure on 6 November 2020 at 158,338 miles shows no defects logged, pointing to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault with the car itself. Mileage rose from 145,666 on 8 November 2019 to 166,610 on 31 August 2021, then to 179,393 by 22 August 2022. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 13,000 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a fifteen-year-old hatchback. The record is sparse but clean, with no rapid accumulation spikes or unexplained gaps beyond the 2020 to 2021 interval stretching thirteen months rather than twelve. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 179,393-mile distance covered. The absence of advisories in the MOT history does not exempt the car from consumable wear now latent beyond the last test date nearly four years ago. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close examination, as the DVSA data offers no insight past August 2022. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, with the vehicle passing every substantive test and avoiding repeated tyre or lighting failures. The clean sheet provides reasonable assurance of prior care, though the elapsed time since the final record means current condition rests on undocumented servicing rather than the supplied history.
