2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · GP11 FUF

The 2011 Ford Fiesta holds a valid MOT pass dated 3 December 2025 at 126,327 miles, with only minor advisories noted. The maintenance trend over the last two years is broadly stable, showing a pattern of recurring wear items being addressed just enough to pass, rather than a thorough preventative approach. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and a defective rear fog lamp lens in the most recent test, both minor issues. However, the repeated appearance of worn rear axle bushes and worn brake discs across multiple tests suggests underlying mechanical wear is being managed reactively rather than resolved permanently. The mileage progression is consistent and typical for a 15-year-old vehicle. The car covered approximately 7,544 miles between the December 2023 test at 115,579 miles and the December 2024 test at 118,783 miles, then added a further 7,544 miles by the December 2025 test at 126,327 miles. This equates to roughly 7,500 miles per year, which is slightly below the implied average of 8,422 miles per year over the vehicle's full life. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer record, indicating regular and steady use rather than long periods of standing or recent high-mileage accumulation. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension and braking components during any in-person inspection. The rear axle swivel pins and bushes were flagged as slightly worn in both the November 2023 and December 2024 tests, and the December 2024 test also noted worn and pitted front brake discs on both sides. These advisories point to aged suspension bushes and brake components that may require replacement soon. The nearside rear road wheel was noted as slightly distorted in December 2024, which could indicate kerb impact damage or an underlying issue with the wheel itself that warrants a close visual check for cracks or buckling. Tyre condition is another recurring theme. Multiple tests have flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit or worn on edges, including a structural tear in an offside rear tyre sidewall noted in November 2023. This pattern suggests the car may have spent time with uneven tyre wear, possibly from misalignment or neglected rotation. A buyer should inspect all four tyres carefully for uneven wear patterns and check the condition of the spare if fitted. Overall, the car appears roadworthy for now, but the history points to a vehicle that has been maintained to a minimum standard rather than a proactive one.
