Our Verdict
A viable budget diesel option, but buyer
Given the history of this specific vehicle, you should verify whether the recurring issues with the rear coil springs and exhaust system were permanently resolved or merely managed. Check the service records for evidence of suspension work and exhaust replacement, as these were flagged in four consecutive years of testing.
As this is a 2011 diesel, ensure the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals, as this is critical for the 1.6 engine's longevity. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and the previous reports of ball joint play, ensuring these have been addressed since the 2025 test.
The 1.6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency, making it a cost-effective choice for higher-mileage drivers. However, as a 2011 model, its road tax will be based on its original CO2 emissions, and insurance will typically fall into a mid-range group for small cars.
Maintenance costs for this model often involve addressing the common corrosion issues seen in the aggregate data, such as exhaust and suspension components. Expect annual costs to include diesel fuel, tax, insurance, and a budget for preventative maintenance on the chassis.
Prioritise an inspection of the rear coil springs and the exhaust system. These were flagged for corrosion in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, and are known weak points for the Fiesta model generally. Check the underside for significant rust that may have progressed beyond the MOT's 'advisory' level.
Additionally, examine the front suspension components for any remaining play in the ball joints and check the condition of the front tyres. While the 2026 MOT was clean, the 2025 record noted tyres worn close to the legal limit and discoloured indicators, which should be checked for current condition.
This silver 2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel has recorded 102,364 miles. The MOT history shows a consistent pass rate, although tests between 2022 and 2025 were frequently accompanied by advisories for corrosion and wear. The most recent test on 20 April 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
The Fiesta has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, though it is frequently prone to exhaust and coil spring failures.
