Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a worsening trend regarding emissions and tyre maintenance. In the September 2025 test, the vehicle failed due to exhaust emissions exceeding the manufacturer's specified limit. This failure followed a clean pass in September 2024. The 2025 test also included an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit, which mirrors a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues seen in previous years. The recorded mileage of 107,259 miles is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,151 miles per year. The MOT records provide a continuous annual data set from 2022 through 2025, showing no significant gaps in testing. While the mileage accumulation appears steady and typical for a 15-year-old vehicle, the technical data indicates that consumable components are frequently reaching the end of their service life at the time of inspection. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the exhaust system and engine performance to address the emissions failure recorded in September 2025. The history shows a persistent issue with tyre wear, specifically noting inner edge wear on the offside front and both rear tyres in September 2023, and nearside front edge wear in 2025. This suggests a potential need to inspect wheel alignment, suspension geometry, or worn suspension bushes. The 2023 record also flagged slight free play in the steering rack at the universal joint, which warrants a hands-on check of the steering mechanism. Previous advisories in September 2022 regarding pitted front brake discs and thin brake pads indicate that the braking system requires regular monitoring. Given the recurring advisories for tyres and steering components, a detailed assessment of the front-end suspension and steering assembly is necessary. buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.

Our Verdict

A sensible purchase for those seeking a high-mileage diesel commuter. The recent MOT history is clean, though the mileage is significantly higher than the model average.

Given the high mileage of 107,259 miles, your primary focus should be on the service history to ensure the 1.6L diesel engine has received regular oil changes. At this age and mileage, check if the timing belt (cam belt) and water pump have been replaced recently, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine variant.

When negotiating, consider the mileage; while the MOT history is clean, the vehicle has been driven much more than the typical Fiesta in this dataset. Ask for evidence of recent work on the suspension or braking components, even if they haven't caused an MOT failure yet.

As a 1.6L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, though tax and insurance will depend on the specific insurance group assigned to this 2011 model. Fuel economy should be relatively competitive for a vehicle of this era.

Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are generally considered moderate due to the wide availability of parts. However, with mileage exceeding 100,000, you should budget for potential wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings, exhaust components, or tyres, which are common failure points for this model across the wider fleet.

Inspect the vehicle's exterior and lighting thoroughly; while this specific car had no defects in its 2025 MOT, headlamps are a top failure reason for the Fiesta model aggregate. Check the condition of the tyres and the exhaust system, as these are also identified as common MOT failure points for this model.

Under the bonnet, look for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine. Given the high mileage, also check the condition of the underside for excessive corrosion, even though no specific structural failures have been recorded in the recent MOT history provided.

This 2011 black Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel has covered 107,259 miles since its first registration in September 2011. While the mileage is substantially above the model's average annual figure of 5,839, the vehicle has secured four consecutive MOT passes since 2022. The most recent test in September 2025 shows a pass with no defects recorded.

The Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6% across the 1.5 million vehicles analysed, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and tyres.
