2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ML11 HYN

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness stands as non-compliant , with the most recent MOT (2025-11-14) failing due to excessive wear in the steering rack inner joint and a defective reflector. The maintenance trend is worsening , evidenced by a failure to clear the steering joint and a defective reflector in the same test, indicating a lack of regular, proactive servicing despite the vehicle's age. The mileage pattern shows significant accumulation , with 74,552 miles recorded in 2026, suggesting the car has been driven for approximately 15 years. This high mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, but it creates a risk of rapid wear on consumables like brakes and suspension components, which may not be addressed during the initial inspection. Given the recurring faults in the steering joint, the reflector, and the oil leak, the buyer must inspect the suspension system, brake discs, and exhaust piping for structural integrity and corrosion. The steering joint and reflector are critical components; if they show signs of binding or damage, the vehicle may not meet safety standards, and the buyer should arrange for a professional assessment to identify and repair these issues before a third MOT is taken.
