2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · MA61 HWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 113,757 miles, this followed a failure just one day prior for multiple mechanical and electrical faults. The presence of a nearside track rod end with play in the 2025 failure which persisted into the 2025 pass suggests that some components are only addressed once they reach a point of failure. At a recorded mileage of 113,757 miles over 15 years, the car averages approximately 7,600 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 5,300 miles in the preceding year. This steady mileage pattern suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the age of the car means rubber and metal components are susceptible to degradation regardless of low mileage. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a recurring history of worn suspension arm bushes in August 2024 and a failing track rod end in 2025. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the tester flagged imbalanced front brakes in 2025 and a spongy pedal in the 2024 test, which could indicate sticking calipers or aging hydraulic lines that need professional attention. Furthermore, the 2023 advisories regarding corroded rear coil springs and aded exhaust skin necessitate a physical check of the chassis for structural rust to ensure corrosion has not progressed beyond surface level.
