2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MV61 OTR

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 18 December 2025 at 155,498 miles. The maintenance trend appears erratic, shifting from a significant failure in 2023 involving multiple lighting and braking faults to a cleaner pass in the most recent inspection. While the car passed its latest test, the recurring advisory regarding tyre wear suggests a lack of proactive maintenance or potential alignment issues that have persisted across several years. The recorded mileage of 155,498 miles over fifteen years averages approximately 10,367 miles annually, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a Ford Fiesta of this age. A notable discrepancy exists between the 87,706 miles recorded in December 2024 and the 155,498 miles recorded in December 2025. This increase of nearly 68,000 miles in a single year is highly unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and warrants careful verification of the odometer reading and service history to ensure the data is accurate and not the result of a clerical error or replacement instrument cluster. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The 2022 test identified corrosion on both rear coil springs, and while these were noted as advisories, they require a thorough check for structural degradation or snapping. The history of pitted brake discs and tyre wear on the edges indicates that the suspension geometry and braking components have been neglected in the past. Verify the condition of the tyres for uneven wear patterns and check the rear coil springs for signs of recent replacement or worsening corrosion before committing to a purchase.
