2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MS51 ABZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 2 December 2025 at 49,041 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within very short windows. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just a few days before a successful retest, suggesting that minor defects are identified and rectified immediately upon discovery rather than indicating deep-seated mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is notably low for a 15-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,269 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 41,064 miles and the December 2025 test at 49,041 miles, the vehicle covered only 7,977 miles over two years. While this low usage suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and internal corrosion of brake surfaces which are not always captured by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check for perished tyres, cracked suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary. Given the age of the car, a thorough check of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and wheel arches for corrosion corrosion, is essential as rust is a common failure point for this model regardless of how few miles it has driven.
