2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WP11 WVO

The most recent MOT on 29 January 2026 recorded a failure at 158,989 miles, despite no specific defects being listed. This recent fail, following a pass in January 2025, indicates an inconsistent maintenance pattern rather than a clear improvement; the vehicle cannot be deemed roadworthy until the cause of the failure is resolved. At 158,989 miles the Fiesta averages roughly 10,600 miles per year, a mileage level typical for a 2011 model. The record shows steady mileage growth between annual tests, with no abrupt spikes or long periods of inactivity. The lack of additional mileage entries suggests the odometer readings are reliable, but the data set is limited to the MOT dates. The alternating fail/pass outcomes, all without recorded defects, raise the possibility of an administrative or paperwork issue rather than a mechanical fault. Nevertheless, a buyer should verify the condition of the brake system, suspension components such as bushes and coil springs, tyre tread depth, and any signs of corrosion or structural rust during a physical inspection. Confirm that all lights, exhaust emissions, and safety-critical items meet current standards. Resolving the recent failure will likely involve addressing the underlying cause flagged by the tester, which may be as simple as a missing documentation item or as substantive as a latent fault not captured in the MOT notes. A thorough pre‑purchase examination, coupled with a fresh MOT, will provide the necessary assurance of roadworthiness.
