Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify the reason for the recent minor failure. This 2011 Ford Fiesta diesel shows a consistent MOT pass record over the last several years.
When viewing this vehicle, ask the seller for clarification regarding the MOT failure on 19 February 2026. Although no specific defects were listed in the summary provided, understanding what caused the failure at 113,687 miles is essential for due diligence.
Given this is a 1.4L diesel model, ensure you check for any signs of heavy idling or short-trip usage, which can affect diesel components. Verify that the service history aligns with the recorded mileage, particularly regarding timing belt intervals which are critical for this engine type.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely placing it in a moderate insurance group. Fuel economy should be competitive for a car of this age, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.
Annual running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age and mileage. Expect typical maintenance costs for a high-mileage diesel, including regular oil changes and potential exhaust or tyre replacements, which are common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified as common failure points for the Ford Fiesta model: headlamps, exhaust systems, and tyre condition. Even though the 2026 MOT pass recorded no defects, these components are statistically more likely to require attention on this model.
Check the tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as well as the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion. Given the 113,689 miles recorded, also inspect the suspension components and brake wear, as these are standard wear items that accumulate with higher mileage.
This black 1.4L diesel Ford Fiesta (JK61CAM) has covered 113,689 miles since its first registration in September 2011. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with a recent failure in February 2026 followed immediately by a pass. While the mileage is higher than the model average, the lack of recorded defects in the most recent pass is a notable data point.
Across 1,514,009 analysed vehicles, the Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and tyres.
