2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LR11 TYP

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, having achieved a clean MOT pass in November 2025 at 54,515 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the period of mechanical concern in late 2022. While the car previously suffered from suspension and corrosion issues, the most recent inspection indicates that the owner addressed the flagged faults to bring the vehicle up to passing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage with only 1,640 miles recorded between the October 2024 and November 2025 tests. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts, as evidenced by the perished tyre and perished boots noted in the 2022 records. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the rear coil spring mountings, as these were flagged for corrosion in both 2023 and 2024. Although they were not considered seriously weakened at that time, surface rust on a low-mileage vehicle can transition into structural failure if the environment remains damp. Additionally, verify the front suspension ball joints and Macpherson strut bushes for signs of play or torn boots, as these components were the primary points of failure during the 2022 inspection. The front brake discs were noted as worn in October 2024. Given the low annual mileage, these components may have suffered from pitting or corrosion rather than simple friction-based wear. Check the thickness and surface condition of the discs to ensure they are not nearing replacement. The rear registration plate, which showed gradual deterioration over several years, appears to have been replaced or maintained given the subsequent clean pass.
