2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML11 CNN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive repairs to developing neglect. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 86,232 miles passed, it introduced new advisories regarding a perished nearside front tyre and sub-frame corrosion. This follows a pattern of structural corrosion noted in January 2025, indicating that while the structural integrity is currently acceptable, the chassis components are undergoing a steady process of surface oxidation. At 86,232 miles, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 5,750 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage data reveals inconsistent usage patterns, specifically a large 12,000-mile gap between April 2022 and January 2024, followed by a rapid increase of 22,500 miles in two years. This low-mileage profile often correlates with degradation of rubber components due to age, which is evidenced by the cracking tyres and deteriorated track rod dust covers identified in recent records. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the sub-frame, as the recurring mention of corrosion across multiple tests since the 2025 inspection suggests the area is nearing a point of significant structural concern. The 2024 failure at 63,754 miles involving all four tyres below the legal limit and multiple blown bulbs highlights a history of neglecting basic safety items until failure. Attention should also be paid to the offside road wheel noted as distorted in 2022 to ensure the impact has not caused uneven wear on the suspension or wheel bearings.
