2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RO11 BVB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline into mechanical oversight. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 78,586 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior that revealed multiple critical defects. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to a series of significant suspension and braking failures in 2026 indicates that components are only being addressed once they reach terminal failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,586 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,239 miles per year. However, the data reveals a significant spike in usage between April 2025 (50,871 miles) and April 2026 (78,586 miles), representing over 27,000 miles in a single year. This rapid acceleration likely caused the accelerated wear seen on components, as evidenced by the sudden failure of the front brake discs and the rear shock absorbers which were not previously flagged. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension thoroughly as the 2026 test flagged both rear shock absorbers for reduced damping and both coil springs for corrosion. The minor exhaust leak noted in the April pass also requires close attention to ensure it is not a structural failure of the manifold manifold. Furthermore, because the front brake discs were noted as worn in 2025 and then significantly worn by April 2026, the buyer should verify that these parts were actually replaced with quality components rather than merely resurfaced. The low-mile nature of the car also necessitates a physical check for perished rubber and surface rust on the sills and mounting points which often affects vehicles that sit for long periods.
