2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LL60 GJF

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a stable maintenance trend, achieving a clean pass on 4 December 2025 at 132,544 miles with no defects recorded. Curiously, the history also lists a failed test on that same date at the identical mileage, yet it too cites no defects. This discrepancy points to a data entry error or an aborted inspection rather than a sudden mechanical fault, and the clean pass confirms the vehicle met structural and mechanical standards at that time. Mileage accumulation tells a distinct story over the last three years. Between the March 2023 test at 115,776 miles and the February 2024 test at 119,611 miles, the car covered just 3,835 miles. The following year, up to the January 2025 test at 123,298 miles, saw a similar low increase of 3,687 miles. However, the final eleven months leading to the December 2025 test at 132,544 miles show a sharp acceleration, with the Fiesta covering 9,246 miles. This recent spike in usage indicates a shift from light, possibly sporadic use to regular, heavier driving. Despite the clean MOT record, a 15-year-old Fiesta with over 132,000 miles demands a thorough physical inspection. The recent surge in mileage means consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres may be nearing replacement. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as older Fiestas commonly suffer from cracking and deterioration. Inspect the underbody and sills for corrosion, paying close attention to the exhaust system and structural mounting points. The anomaly of the simultaneous pass and fail on the December 2025 record warrants a request for the original test certificates to verify the exact circumstances, ensuring no underlying issues were overlooked or misrecorded.
