2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MJ11 EVM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a pattern of marginal passes. The most recent test on 20 July 2022 at 105,455 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at the same mileage. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues to secure a valid test certificate. Since that last recorded test in July 2022, the vehicle is now significantly overdue for its MOT, which represents a primary risk as the mechanical condition has not undergone a professional safety inspection in nearly four years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 26,049 miles between the September 2019 test at 61,805 miles and the September 2020 test at 87,854 miles, indicating a period of high usage. However, the usage slowed significantly to roughly 17,600 miles between 2020 and 2022. The relatively low annual mileage for a car of this age means rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, are susceptible to age-related cracking and degradation rather than simple mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of structural integrity, specifically around the sills and wheel arches, where these Fiestas commonly develop corrosion. Given the four-year lapse since the last MOT, the braking system should be checked for seized calipers or corroded pipes resulting from periods of standing. The record shows no recurring mechanical failures or exhaust emission issues, but the lack of recent data means the current state of the drivetrain and suspension remains unknown. An immediate MOT is required before any significant long-distance travel.
