2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WN61 KPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The latest test in February 2026 at 113,562 miles resulted in a pass only after addressing failures regarding windscreen wipers and rear axle components. While the faults were rectified to secure the certificate, the presence of worn rear axle swivel bushes and thin tyres suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they reach the point of a test failure. At 113,562 miles over fifteen years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent movement, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 3,200 miles leading into the February 2026 test. This steady suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though the cumulative mileage naturally increases the wear on rubber suspension components and exhaust hardware. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of worn front suspension arm ball joints in 2024 and worn rear axle bushes in 2026. These recurring issues can lead to poor handling and uneven tyre wear if not monitored. Furthermore, the offside rear silencer was noted for corrosion in 2024; the entire exhaust system should be checked to ensure the rust has not progressed to structural perforation or significant leaks, which is a common failure point for Fiestas of this era.
