2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SW61 ABK

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-27 assessment at 85,319 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s absence of critical failures or advisories suggests it has been well cared for, though its low mileage relative to age warrants scrutiny of potential storage-related wear. The mileage progression shows an annual average of 5,688 miles, significantly below typical usage for a 15-year-old vehicle. Gaps between MOTs range from 11 to 14 months, with the most notable pause between 2021-06-10 (56,970 miles) and 2022-06-08 (64,785 miles), a 7,815-mile increase over 12 months. This pattern implies intermittent use or periods of inactivity, which could affect components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. The lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate risks associated with prolonged idleness. A buyer should inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, as these components are not tested during MOTs. Corrosion in underbody areas, particularly around the exhaust system, merits attention due to the vehicle’s low mileage potentially masking exposure to moisture. While the MOT history lacks structural or emission issues, the absence of recent brake or steering checks means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the integrity of these systems. The clean record does not guarantee fault-free operation, but it confirms a lack of urgent mechanical risks.
