2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GY11 XCD

The 2011 Ford Fiesta is currently roadworthy, with the 16 June 2025 test at 31,828 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five-year MOT history is stable, showing zero advisories on suspension, brakes, emissions or structure. On 13 June 2025 at 31,826 miles the tester issued a fail yet listed no defects; three days later the vehicle passed cleanly. This anomalous failure points to a non-mechanical rejection rather than a worsening condition. Odometer readings confirm exceptionally low use for a fifteen-year-old car. The 22 June 2022 test at 24,933 miles preceded the 22 June 2023 test at 25,968 miles by only 1,035 miles travelled. By 14 June 2024 the figure stood at 28,113 miles, a 2,145-mile increment. The latest 2025 entries show 31,826 then 31,828 miles, equating to roughly 3,713 miles over the preceding year. Such sparse accumulation suggests prolonged storage or short local journeys, and the clean record gives no indication of skipped consumable replacements. No recurring faults appear in the DVSA data, so a buyer must look beyond the test sheet for age-related deterioration. The tester never flagged worn suspension bushes, corroded coil springs, binding calipers or brake disc pitting, but rubber components and hydraulic fluid degrade with time regardless of distance. We recommend a physical check of subframe corrosion, sill structural integrity and tyre sidewalls for perishing caused by standing. Previous owners sustained annual test compliance without advisory warnings, implying basic statutory care rather than proactive mechanical overhaul. Given the low mileage and likely idle periods, confirm brake caliper freedom, inspect exhaust emissions hardware for rust, and verify service history for fluid changes before purchase.
