2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LM61 OTN

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a clear trend of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 93,926 miles passed with a single advisory for offside front suspension arm ball joint having slight play. While the car currently passes, the previous four years indicate a recurring pattern where mechanical components are only addressed once they approach the point of failure or significant degradation. At 93,926 miles over fifteen years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 6,260 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-mileage usage for its age. The mileage accumulation is steady, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles recorded between each annual test since at least 2021. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, though the low annual mileage explains why age-related rubber components and metal corrosion are showing the wear seen in the records. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record shows persistent issues with front brake discs and pads across 2022, 2023, and 2024, alongside deteriorating rear beam axle bushes noted in 2024. The latest advisory on the ball joint suggests the front suspension geometry is beginning to fail due to age-related wear. Additionally, the history of exhaust corrosion and gas leaks in 2021 and 2022 necessitates a close check of the entire exhaust system and mounting points to ensure structural rust has not progressed beyond surface level.
