2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LC61 SSK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in February 2026. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs where the owner addresses specific failures immediately upon testing. While the most recent test at 104,788 miles failed due to simple bulb failures in the offside position and stop lamps, these were rectified quickly, suggesting the owner is attentive to legal lighting requirements but may not necessarily be performing preventative mechanical maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage cycle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a gap of 7,594 miles recorded between January 2024 and February 2025, followed by 1,387 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This steady rate of use indicates regular short trips, which is generally beneficial for engine seals and battery health, though age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids remains a factor despite the relatively low annual mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry given the fractured offside front coil spring recorded at 95,895 miles. The buyer must verify that the replacement was fitted correctly and check for any uneven tyre wear that could indicate lingering tracking issues. The 2025 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre worn on the edge also suggests a previous alignment fault or worn shock absorber that should be re-examined to prevent premature tyre replacement. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion and brake line integrity is essential, as these areas were not explicitly flagged in the recent history.
