2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LL61 XKJ

The 2011 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-07-24 at 87,573 miles recording no defects. The prior three tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2023-08-17 failure at 71,340 miles was noted but listed as no defects, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor non-critical issue. Overall, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults in its recent history. The mileage of 87,573 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 5,838 miles annually, below the average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation. Notably, the vehicle accumulated 8,698 miles between the 2023-08-24 test (71,348 miles) and 2024-08-19 (80,038 miles), followed by 7,535 miles to the 2025 test. These intervals suggest regular but light usage, though the sparse MOT data between 2022 and 2023 raises questions about potential maintenance gaps. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask age-related fatigue. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system for rust, common in older vehicles. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the 2023 failure—despite no defects—warrants scrutiny of the vehicle’s electrical or emissions systems. Confirm fluid levels and belt conditions, as prolonged inactivity may have affected these components.
