2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YB60 ARF

The 2011 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 16 March 2026 at 167,631 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. This follows a consistent pattern of passing tests with no advisories or failures, barring an anomalous failed test on 15 March 2024 at 164,040 miles. Curiously, that failure lists no recorded defects, suggesting an administrative error or an immediate rectification that allowed a clean pass the following day at 164,041 miles. Overall, the mechanical condition appears stable and well-maintained. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 11,175 miles annually, which is typical for a fifteen-year-old supermini. Examining the specific intervals reveals a gradual decline in annual usage. Between the February 2023 test at 160,834 miles and the March 2024 test at 164,041 miles, the car covered approximately 3,200 miles. This dropped to around 2,400 miles over the subsequent twelve months, and further declined to just under 1,200 miles between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings, pointing to consistent, albeit decreasing, regular use rather than long periods of inactivity. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains prudent given the car's age and six-figure mileage. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude typical wear on consumables and structural components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as 167,000 miles will inevitably take their toll on ride height and damping efficiency. Brake discs and pads require scrutiny for lipping and wear, alongside checking the calipers for any signs of binding. The underbody and sills must be inspected for corrosion, a common affliction for vehicles of this era, ensuring the structural integrity remains uncompromised. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as older rubber can perish regardless of tread depth.
