2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YA11 OUM

The vehicle displays a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent pass on 28 April 2025 at 77,632 miles. The record shows a consistent trend of compliance, with no recorded defects or advisories across the last three successful tests. While the 28 December 2023 test resulted in a failure at 67,974 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or an immediate rectification that allowed for a clean pass just one week later on 5 January 2024. The total recorded mileage of 77,632 over fifteen years averages approximately 5,175 miles per annum, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. The history indicates a period of light usage, with the odometer increasing by roughly 3,000 miles between December 2022 and December 2023. A significant spike in usage occurred between January 2024 and April 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles. This recent increase in activity suggests the car has transitioned from a period of standing to more regular operation, which is generally beneficial for preventing the seizing of mechanical components. Despite the recent clean MOT results, a physical inspection remains necessary to verify the condition of components that often deteriorate during long periods of inactivity. Focus your assessment on the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these rubber and metal elements can perish or corrode regardless of low mileage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which frequently develops when a car is left parked for extended durations. Although the MOT history is encouraging, ensure you verify the age of the timing belt, as this is a critical maintenance item for this engine that is not explicitly covered by the MOT test.
