2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RF60 EFA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in January 2026 at 77,104 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of concern in 2024. While the most recent test noted only a minor deterioration of the rear registration plate, the absence of defects in the 2025 test suggests that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed or the vehicle is currently operating in a stable state. At 77,104 miles over fifteen years, this Fiesta reflects significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,140 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last three years, with roughly 16,600 miles covered between January 2023 and January 2026. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the engine and drivetrain components, though the infrequent use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as bushings and seals, which may be affected solely by the age of the vehicle. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the January 2024 test flagged play in the offside lower suspension arm ball joint and uneven wear on both front inner tyres. These symptoms often point to alignment issues or worn steering components that require monitoring to prevent premature tyre scrubbing. Additionally, although the 2023 failure due to a major exhaust leak and poor lambda readings was resolved, the buyer should verify the exhaust system for any signs of recurring corrosion or ensure the oxygen sensor is functioning correctly to maintain optimal fuel efficiency.
