2011 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · SH60 ACJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 127,576 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, although the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes in the two previous testing cycles. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test but was rectified quickly, suggesting that the owner is reactive to specific MOT failure requirements rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is consistent with a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 1,680 miles, while an additional 1,628 miles were recorded between April 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage suggests long periods of stationary use, which can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes and perished tyres, despite the low mechanical wear. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the history of failures necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components that typically trigger failures on this model. A buyer should check the condition of the rear coil springs and suspension arms, as these are common points of corrosion on older Fiest. Given the low mileage and age, inspect the brake calipers for seizing or binding, which often occurs when vehicles are used for extended periods between tests.
