2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MF11 PRZ

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, with the most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 26,865 miles recording zero defects. Every test in the available history, stretching back to March 2022, has passed without a single advisory or failure. This is an unusually spotless record for a fifteen-year-old supermini and suggests the vehicle has been kept in sound mechanical order with no recurring faults. The mileage accumulation tells a story of very light use. Between the March 2022 test at 11,535 miles and the December 2025 test at 26,865 miles, the car covered just 15,330 miles over nearly four years, averaging roughly 3,800 miles per year in that window. Earlier years were even quieter, with only 477 miles added between January 2022 and January 2023. Such low annual distances raise the possibility of long periods standing still, which can cause its own issues, but the consistent MOT passes suggest any dormancy-related deterioration has been managed. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still inspect the tyres carefully. Low-mileage cars frequently sit for extended spells, and aged rubber can develop sidewall cracking or flat-spotting well before the tread wears down. Check the date codes on all four tyres and the spare. Brake discs and pads on a car driven so sparingly can also suffer from surface corrosion and glazing, particularly if the vehicle has been parked for weeks at a time. A short drive will reveal any binding calipers or uneven braking feel that a static inspection might miss. Underneath, examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for perishing or weeping, as rubber components deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, especially around joints and mounting points, and check the underside for any signs of structural rust on the subframe or suspension mounting points. The clean MOT record is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the car's condition matches its paperwork.
