2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · PR60 SCO

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 30 August 2025 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2021, the car has maintained a remarkably clean record with five consecutive passes and an absence of any recorded advisories or failures. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been subject to consistent upkeep or preventative repairs prior to its annual inspections. With a recorded mileage of 121,170 miles over approximately 15 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 8,078 miles per year. This usage rate is typical for its age and suggests a balanced history of use without the risks associated with excessive high-mileage wear or the mechanical stagnation caused by prolonged periods of standing. However, at this mileage threshold, the vehicle is entering a phase where long-term wear on drivetrain components and rubber mounts becomes more prevalent. Because the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the buyer must focus on age-related degradation that often escapes a standard roadworthiness test. It is essential to physically inspect the tyre sidewalls for perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The 12V battery health should be verified, and the brake discs should be examined for heavy surface corrosion or signs of binding calipers. A thorough check of the service history is required to ensure that calendar-based fluid changes, specifically for the brake fluid and engine coolant, have been performed to prevent internal corrosion. During the test drive, the buyer should listen for suspension clunks or knocks, which would indicate the fatigue of suspension bushes or coil springs common to vehicles of this vintage and mileage. Particular attention must be paid to the service book to verify the replacement interval of the timing belt and water pump, as failure of these components would result in catastrophic engine damage. Finally, checking for any slow fluid leaks around the engine bay and ensuring the clutch pedal feel is consistent will provide a complete picture of the vehicle's mechanical integrity.
