Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution regarding t
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the items flagged in the 2025 MOT, specifically the steering rack play and the rear axle bushes. These repairs can be costly, so ensure you have factored these potential expenses into your offer price. The history of exhaust leaks and suspension wear indicates that the underside of the car has been subject to significant stress.
Always ask to see the full service history to determine if the oil leak mentioned in the latest MOT has been addressed or monitored. Given the high mileage, it is vital to check for any signs of engine oil consumption or unusual noises from the steering rack during a test drive. Do not assume any issues have been resolved unless you have documented proof of repairs.
As a 1.4-litre petrol model, the Fiesta is generally economical, but the high mileage may lead to increased maintenance costs. You should budget for frequent inspections of the suspension and exhaust system, as these are recurring failure points for this specific vehicle.
Insurance and tax bands for a 2011 1.4L Fiesta are typically moderate, but individual costs will depend on your personal circumstances. Expect to spend approximately £1,100–£1,300 annually, accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for ongoing repairs to address the recurring MOT advisories.
Prioritise a check of the steering rack, as 'play in steering rack inner joints' was noted in the most recent MOT. Additionally, inspect the rear axle bushes, which were flagged as worn. These components are critical for safe handling and should be examined by a qualified mechanic.
Examine the exhaust system for signs of the previously noted leaks, particularly the front flexi section. Finally, check the condition of all tyres, as the vehicle has a documented history of tyre-related MOT failures, including tread depth issues and uneven wear, which may indicate underlying alignment problems.
This 2011 Ford Fiesta has covered 139,672 miles, which is significantly higher than the average for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, including exhaust leaks, suspension bush wear, and tyre-related failures. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025, the presence of multiple advisories suggests that further maintenance will be required in the near future.
The Ford Fiesta is a popular model in the UK, but aggregate data shows that exhaust and suspension components are frequent failure points for vehicles of this age.
