2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MA11 ADO

The 2011 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2026-01-27 at 56,001 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, with consecutive passes in 2024, 2025, and 2026. A failed test on 2025-01-17 at 48,403 miles is noted, but no defects were recorded, suggesting either a technical anomaly or a minor issue resolved prior to the subsequent pass. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident in the history. The vehicle’s mileage of 56,001 miles at 15 years old equates to approximately 3,733 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. Gaps between MOTs extend up to two years, with the longest between 2022-12-16 (37,449 miles) and 2024-02-02 (40,326 miles), a 2,877-mile increase over 14 months. This low usage may indicate infrequent operation, which can accelerate wear on components like seals, batteries, and suspension bushes. No rapid mileage surges are recorded, but the sparse data limits insight into long-term mechanical stress. A buyer should conduct a detailed inspection of the suspension system, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. Check for corrosion on the undercarriage, as prolonged inactivity increases rust risk. Verify brake disc thickness and caliper function, as minor issues could emerge from inattention. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment, especially for components prone to hidden degradation in low-mileage vehicles.
