2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML11 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test conducted in January 2026 at 71,921 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a single failure occurred in November 2023 at 64,946 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the issue was rectified promptly rather than representing a recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. Between November 2022 and January 2026, the car covered 12,356 miles, showing a consistent but infrequent usage rate that is well below the national average. This level of low annual mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though long periods of standing between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid oxidisation. Given that the record shows no persistent structural issues or mechanical advisories in the recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related decay despite low mileage. Examine the chassis for surface corrosion, particularly around the rear wheel arches and suspension mounting points, as vehicles of this era are susceptible to moisture retention. Check the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake lines for perishation, as these parts often degrade over time regardless of the distance driven.
