2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LR11 TYO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in March 2026, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test at 113,156 miles identified new advisories for thin front brake pads and a corroded nearside front coil spring, the record shows the owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold. The mechanical condition appears stable in terms of passing, yet the recurring nature of suspension issues requires close monitoring. At a recorded mileage of 113,156 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a fifteen-year-old car. The data shows consistent annual mileage, with roughly 7,300 miles covered between the March 2024 and March 2025 tests, and another 5,000 miles leading into the March 2026 inspection. This regularity suggests regular use, though the age of the vehicle accelerates degradation of rubber components and metal hardware. A buyer must focus their inspection on the front suspension and steering assemblies. The history shows repeated coil spring corrosion, with the offside unit failing in 2024 and the nearside unit flagged in 2026. Additionally, the steering rack gaiters required replacement in 2025 after a failure, and a track rod end previously showed excessive play. A physical inspection should verify the integrity of the steering boots and check for play in the suspension joints to ensure the previous repairs were executed correctly. The recent advisory for thin front brake pads indicates that immediate maintenance is required to prevent damage to the rotors.
