2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MJ11 BYD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 61,989 miles with no recorded defects. While the maintenance trend appears consistent, the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in both 2024 and 2025. This suggests that the previous owner is proactive in rectifying faults only when prompted by the annual test, rather than performing preventative maintenance to avoid a failure. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,133 miles per year. The data shows consistent but infrequent usage, with 3,043 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 5,280 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test. This low mileage typically reduces the mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, but long periods of standing often causes accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and seals, which can manifest as leaks regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking system, as low-mileage cars often suffer from perished bushes or seized brake calipers due to lack of use. Given the age of the Fiesta, a thorough check for structural integrity on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential, as corrosion is a common failure point for this generation. Verify the age of the tyres rather than just the tread depth, as rubber flat-spots and crack over time even if the mileage remains low.
