2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FL61 AOY

The current MOT status for this Ford Fiesta is valid until June 2026, with the most recent test conducted on June 11, 2025, at 93,953 miles resulting in a clean pass. This record indicates an improving maintenance trend following a significant failure in April 2024. While the vehicle struggled with neglected consumables and suspension wear during the 2023 and 2024 inspections, the lack of recorded defects in the latest assessment suggests that the previous owner addressed these mechanical shortcomings effectively before the most recent test. The vehicle has covered 93,953 miles over fifteen years, averaging approximately 6,264 miles annually. This usage pattern is consistent and suggests regular operation rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The mileage accumulation between the 2022 and 2023 tests was roughly 6,600 miles, followed by a similar increase of 7,150 miles leading into the 2024 test. The jump of 8,000 miles between April 2024 and June 2025 indicates the car remains in active service, though the rate of wear on critical components accelerated during this period. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension and braking systems, as these areas have shown recurring sensitivity. The 2023 and 2024 tests highlighted issues with suspension arm bushes and ball joints, suggesting that the front end may require further attention if the steering feel becomes vague or if knocking noises emerge during road testing. Given the history of worn brake discs and contaminated pads, verify that the current braking performance is sharp and free of judder. Ensure the front tyres show even wear patterns, as previous records noted inner-edge scrubbing, which could indicate lingering tracking or alignment issues that were not fully rectified.
