Our Verdict
A functional budget option, provided the
Prioritise the suspension during your inspection. The rear axle bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting a long-term issue that may soon require costly replacement. Use this as a negotiation point for the final price.
Check the service records for evidence of regular oil changes and specifically look for the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item for the 1.242L petrol engine. Ensure all exterior lights are functioning, following the multiple lamp failures recorded in 2025.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering reasonable fuel economy for urban environments. Insurance groups for this model are typically low, and the vehicle falls into a standard tax bracket for its era, keeping fixed costs manageable.
Maintenance costs are generally low due to the wide availability of parts for the Fiesta. However, the estimated annual running cost of £900-£1,200 accounts for fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for suspension work based on the MOT advisories.
Focus heavily on the rear suspension; the MOT history explicitly mentions worn offside and nearside rear axle bushes across two consecutive years. A professional mechanic should assess if these are still within acceptable limits or require immediate replacement.
Inspect the tyres, particularly the nearside rear, which had a cut noted in October 2025. Additionally, check the condition of the registration plates, as they were flagged as deteriorated in 2023 and 2024. Finally, verify that all position and registration lamps are operational to ensure the 2025 electrical failures were fully resolved.
This blue 2011 Ford Fiesta has recorded 91,765 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history shows a generally consistent record, though the October 2025 test required repairs to the lighting and tyres to achieve a pass. A recurring advisory for worn rear axle bushes has been present since October 2024.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
