2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LS11 UBR

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness profile showing a worsening trend in mechanical wear and deferred maintenance. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 105,580 miles, the record reveals a significant accumulation of advisories that were previously noted. The transition from a completely clean record in 2023 to multiple failures and high-frequency advisories suggests that the vehicle is now receiving the bare minimum legal attention rather than undergoing proactive preventative care. At 105,580 miles over 15 years, the Fiesta reflects an average usage of approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light local commuting. However, the data shows a rapid accumulation of over 7,000 miles between June 2023 and September 2024, during which the vehicle went from zero defects to failing on multiple counts. The gap of 7,375 miles since the September 2025 test indicates consistent use, but the components are now reaching the end of their service life. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry. The offside front lower arm ball joint and the rear axle swivel pins and bushes have been flagged as worn across three consecutive testing periods, indicating persistent play that has not been rectified. Furthermore, the presence of corrosion on both rear coil springs noted in 2025 is a structural concern that requires monitoring, as surface rust on these components often leads to sudden fractures. Tyre condition and alignment require immediate scrutiny. The history shows a recurring pattern of inner-edge wear on the front tyres, which is a classic symptom of incorrect camber or toe from worn suspension bushes. The nearside rear tyre was recorded at 1.9mm with a nail in the tread in 2025, suggesting that the current tyres are likely near the legal limit or have not been replaced recently. Before purchase, the buyer should verify that the exhaust system was properly secured following the 2024 failure and ensure the headlamp assembly is fully functional.
