2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · NG11 NDZ

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile despite its current clean pass status. While the most recent test in January 2025 at 112,439 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories, the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failure prior to success. The car failed its tests in both 2023 and 2024 before passing on the same day, suggesting that the previous owner only addressed faults when necessary to maintain legal compliance rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is consistent with expectations for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the January 2023 test at 101,508 miles and the January 2024 test at 107,362 miles, the car covered 5,854 miles, followed by another 5,077 miles leading into the January 2025 inspection. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle is not sitting excessively, which reduces the risk of age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid seals regardless of the relatively low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the MOT record lacks specific detail on the nature of the previous failures. Because the vehicle failed twice without recorded advisories previously, it is likely that components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components were replaced only upon failing testing. Given the age of the Fiesta, close attention to structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points is critical, as the digital record does not indicate the presence of rust until it reaches a failure threshold.
