2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SC11 ACY

This 2011 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test, conducted just ten months ago on 17 July 2025, shows a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories. The absence of any failures or advisories across the last three annual tests—including the duplicate entries in 2024 and 2025—suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the repeated failed tests at identical mileages (33,831 and 35,863) are anomalous and warrant clarification. The lack of advisories or defects implies the vehicle has not experienced major mechanical issues, but the duplicate failures may indicate administrative errors or a brief period of non-use between tests. The recorded mileage of 35,865 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 2,391 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows no mileage progression—both were conducted at 33,064 and 33,831 miles respectively—suggesting the vehicle may have remained stationary for an extended period. This stagnation could imply limited use, potential storage issues, or even a period of non-operation, which may have accelerated wear on components like the battery, fuel system, or tyres if not maintained properly. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items such as the suspension bushes and coil springs, particularly for signs of perished rubber or excessive play, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The brakes, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, though the absence of advisories in recent tests suggests they remain functional. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, should be examined for corrosion, as prolonged periods of non-use can exacerbate rust development. Finally, the battery and fuel system should be tested, as low mileage and potential storage periods may have impacted their condition.
