2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · ML11 ABV

The most recent MOT on 2026-04-08 identified several issues despite the vehicle passing. Front brake discs showed wear, pitting, or scoring on both inner faces, though not seriously weakened. Rear coil springs were corroded, and both front and rear tyres exhibited slight damage, cracking, or perishing. These findings suggest aging components and potential corrosion risks. Recurring tyre damage has been noted in the last two MOTs (2025 and 2026), with both front and rear tyres showing similar issues. This pattern indicates ongoing tyre degradation, possibly due to prolonged inactivity or exposure to harsh conditions. The rear coil spring corrosion in 2026 is a new defect, raising concerns about rust-related structural integrity. The trend shows a shift from previously clean MOTs (2022–2024) to minor defects in 2025 and 2026. While the 2026 issues are not critical, the emergence of corrosion and tyre wear suggests a gradual decline in condition. However, the vehicle’s low mileage (34,491 miles over 15 years) complicates interpretation—this could reflect light use or extended periods of inactivity, neither of which guarantees mechanical health.
