2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MW11 AXK

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 58,267 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural concerns identified in previous years have been addressed. The car has successfully maintained a clean record for the last two annual tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a fifteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,884 miles per year. Between November 2024 and November 2025, the vehicle covered only 2,557 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary use or light storage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces due to lack of use rather than mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear sub-frame area, as this was a recurring point of concern. Records from 2022 and 2023 flagged wear on both the nearside and offside rear sub-frame pins or bushes. Although these did not result in a failure at the time, the persistence of the issue across multiple tests suggests the components are nearing their limit. A thorough check for structural corrosion on the sub-frame mounting points is essential to ensure that the integrity of the chassis has not been compromised by rust.
