2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RO11 VCN

The vehicle presents an inconsistent roadworthiness profile, showing a trend of reactive rather than preventative maintenance. While the Ford Fiesta passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 107,408 miles, this followed a significant failure involving multiple lighting issues and a mechanical steering defect. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to multiple failures in 2025 and 2026 suggests that faults are currently only being addressed once they prevent a legal test pass. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 107,408 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,160 miles, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The data shows steady progression, with roughly 5,300 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,600 miles covered between March 2025 and April 2026. This consistency indicates the vehicle is not sitting stationary, but the age of the components means rubber and metal parts are nearing degradation regardless of the mileage. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the steering system, specifically addressing the knocking sound noted in April 2026, which often indicates worn steering rack ends, drop links, or universal joints. The history of a leaking nearside hydraulic brake caliper in March 2025 requires a thorough check to ensure the component was fully replaced and that fluid contamination has not affected surrounding components. Furthermore, the previous failure for an insecure exhaust and a missing rear box suggests the need to inspect the mounting brackets for corrosion or structural rust, which are common failure points for vehicles of this era.
