2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FP11 LJJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive component replacement. The most recent test in September 2025 at 164,801 miles identified front brake discs that were pitted and scored. While the vehicle passed the test, this defect indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its functional life, marking a departure from the clean record seen in the September 2024 inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. Between September 2022 and September 2025, the car covered 19,846 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 6,600 miles annually during that specific period. This regularity suggests regular use which often helps prevent issues associated with long periods of standing, though the high total mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and aging suspension components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and wheel geometry. The failure in 2023 at 151,866 miles due to a tyre being below the legal limit and uneven wear on the offside rear tyre suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn trailing arm. This should be checked again to ensure new tyres are not being prematurely consumed by mechanical faults. Given the pitted front brake discs noted in the latest record, the buyer must verify the thickness of the pads and the condition of the calipers. Because the vehicle has surpassed 160,000 miles, a close look at structural corrosion on the sills and subframe mounting is also essential, as these are common failure points for this generation of Fiesta that are not always captured in a standard MOT until they become critical.
