2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · M90 OCM

The current roadworthiness status of this Ford Fiesta is stable, as evidenced by the clean pass recorded on 2 February 2026 at 102,948 miles. While the vehicle failed its initial assessment on the same day, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor issues resolved immediately on-site. The absence of any advisories across the last three annual tests indicates a high level of maintenance consistency, pointing toward an owner who addresses mechanical needs promptly rather than deferring repairs. The vehicle has covered 102,948 miles over fifteen years, averaging approximately 6,863 miles per annum. This usage pattern is typical for a car of this age and suggests a balanced mix of urban and motorway driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. The progression from 89,965 miles in January 2024 to the current figure shows steady, predictable accumulation. There are no concerning spikes in mileage that would indicate heavy commercial use or neglect, confirming the car has been used as a standard daily driver. Despite the clean MOT history, prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components. Ford Fiestas of this generation are prone to corrosion on the rear axle beam and subframe mounts, which can sometimes escape notice during a standard test. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of surface rust or pitting, as the low annual mileage can lead to binding calipers if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Verify the state of the rubber suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items that may be nearing the end of their service life given the vehicle's age.
