2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · SL11 YCF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent inspection on 28 November 2025 at 129,361 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an initial failure just two miles prior. This sequence suggests a minor, superficial fault, such as a blown bulb or a sensor issue, that was rectified immediately before the re-test, indicating the owner is proactive about ensuring the vehicle meets legal minimum standards. The mileage profile shows a consistent average of approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns perfectly with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old Ford. Between the November 2023 test at 110,466 miles and the November 2024 test at 118,988 miles, the car covered 8,522 miles. The subsequent accumulation of 10,373 miles in the following year shows the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods. This regular use is generally beneficial for mechanical seals and braking components, preventing the corrosion that often affects low-mileage vehicles of this era. While the MOT record is clean of recurring advisories, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of components that the test does not fully evaluate. At 129,000 miles, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers are likely nearing significant wear. The buyer should specifically check the sills and floor pans for structural corrosion, as the MOT test only flags rust once it reaches a specific depth of structural compromise. Given the age and mileage, verifying the condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the tyre rubber is essential to ensure no hidden mechanical costs are imminent.
