Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of a popular hatch
The primary point for negotiation and investigation is the mileage discrepancy between the June 2024 test (58,663 miles) and the June 2025 test (57,651 miles). You should request documentation or a clear explanation for this variance to ensure the odometer is accurate.
Furthermore, examine the service history for evidence of regular fluid top-ups. The MOT history shows oil was low in 2022, coolant was low in 2024, and brake fluid was low in 2026. This pattern suggests a need to verify if the vehicle is consuming fluids or if there are slow leaks that have been overlooked.
The 1388cc petrol engine is a standard unit for this model, offering a balance of urban economy and reliability. Running costs will be typical for a 2011 small hatchback, with insurance groups generally remaining low for this engine size.
Annual costs will be influenced by the need to address the current brake pad wear noted in the 2026 MOT. Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are generally accessible due to the wide availability of parts in the UK.
Prioritise an inspection of the braking system; the May 2026 MOT specifically flagged thin front brake pads and a brake hydraulic reservoir fluid level below the minimum. You should also check for any signs of leaks around the radiator and engine block, given the 2024 advisory for low coolant.
Check the current condition of the tyres and the wheel alignment. The 2023 MOT noted that the offside front tyre was bald on the inner edge, which can often be a symptom of incorrect tracking or suspension wear. Finally, verify the current oil level using the dipstick.
This blue 2011 Ford Fiesta has recorded 61,041 miles as of May 2026, which is below the model average. While it has passed its last five MOT tests, the records show a discrepancy where the 2025 mileage was recorded as lower than the 2024 figure. Additionally, advisories for low oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels have appeared across three separate years.
The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
