2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · MJ61 KKW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on April 2 2026 at 124,175 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has achieved clean passes without recorded defects in the latest successful tests. The failures noted in October 2025 and April 2026 followed immediately by passes suggest that any minor issues were rectified prior to the re-tests rather than indicating a systemic mechanical failure or structural decay. At 124,175 miles over 15 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,300 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with 11,303 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025, and another 2,136 miles recorded between October 2025 and April 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle is driven regularly, which often helps prevent seals from drying or components from seizing during inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to wear at this mileage and age. Despite the clean MOT results, the high mileage warrants a close check of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs for signs of fatigue. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the underside for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is essential to ensure structural integrity remains sound. You should also verify the brake discs for thinning or pitting and ensure the recent MOT passes reflect high-quality mechanical maintenance.
