2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KV11 NLP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 2026-05-20 at 107,431 miles passed with no defects recorded. This follows two previous clean passes in May 2025 and May 2024, suggesting the car has entered a period of consistent upkeep after a history of sporadic failures. The mileage is typical for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,162 miles per year. The usage pattern is steady, with a notable increase between May 2025 and May 2026 where the odometer rose by 9,030 miles. This is the highest annual increase recorded in the history, whereas the period between July 2023 and May 2024 saw a smaller increase of 4,733 miles. A buyer should focus on the suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The record shows a recurring issue with suspension arm ball joints, which caused failures in July 2019, July 2021, and July 2023. While these were resolved to pass the tests, the repetition suggests high wear on the front end. Similarly, the July 2023 failure for brake pads under 1.5mm followed a July 2022 advisory for thin pads, indicating that consumables were often run to the legal limit before replacement. Attention should also be paid to the wheels and chassis. The tester flagged a badly distorted nearside front wheel in July 2023 and a slightly distorted offside rear wheel in July 2022. Such damage often points to heavy curb impact or poor road conditions, which can affect wheel alignment and tyre wear. While recent tests are clean, checking for any lingering corrosion on the rear sub-frame bushes and coil springs is advised given the failures noted in 2021 and 2023.
