2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LB11 XFX

A consistent pattern of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT pass on 29 August 2025 showing no recorded defects. This follows a series of successful inspections dating back several years, including consecutive passes in 2024 and 2023 without any advisories. While a failure was recorded on 16 August 2022, the vehicle has since maintained a defect-free status for three consecutive testing cycles, indicating a stable mechanical trend in terms of documented MOT compliance. The vehicle's usage profile is characterised by low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,926 miles per year over its 15-year lifespan. With 88,897 miles currently recorded, the accumulation rate is significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. Mechanically, this lower mileage suggests reduced wear on high-friction components such as the engine internals, gearbox, and braking system, though it also necessitates an inspection of rubber components like suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls which can perish or crack due to age and infrequent movement rather than tread wear. Given the absence of specific advisories or component-level defects in the recent history, a test drive should focus on verifying that the documented cleanliness translates to real-world operation. Listen for any dull knocks or clunks from the front or rear suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn coil springs or suspension linkages that have not yet reached the threshold for an MOT failure. Check for any pulling to one side during braking or a pulsating sensation through the brake pedal, which would suggest uneven wear on the brake discs. Because the vehicle has been driven relatively little each year, it is advisable to monitor for any signs of fluid weeping from the engine or gearbox seals during a stationary inspection. Ensure the steering feels precise and free from excessive play or vibration through the steering wheel at varying speeds. While the MOT record is clear of structural or emissions issues, the low-mileage usage pattern means that checking the integrity of all rubber hoses and belts for age-related cracking is a prudent step for a prospective buyer.
