2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WR11 YHS

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 14 February 2026 at 97,842 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage history shows a significant and abrupt increase in usage recently. Between 22 February 2025 and 14 February 2026, the vehicle covered 40,333 miles. This is a sharp contrast to the previous four years, where the car averaged roughly 3,000 miles per year, such as the 2,612 miles added between 28 May 2022 and 17 June 2023. This sudden spike in mileage suggests a change in ownership or a shift to high-intensity use, such as long-distance commuting, in the last twelve months. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on wear-and-tear components that typically degrade under rapid mileage accumulation. While the MOT record is devoid of advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear, the 40,000-mile surge in one year puts immense pressure on consumables. Check the tyre tread depths and the condition of the brake pads, as these may be nearing the end of their service life despite the clean test result. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these are common failure points for a 2011 Fiesta. Verify the engine oil condition and service stamps to ensure the oil change intervals were shortened to accommodate the recent high-mileage period. The lack of historical faults is encouraging, but the recent usage pattern necessitates a thorough check of the drivetrain and clutch operation.
