2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YR61 JVM

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of neglected wear-and-tear components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 55,851 miles passed with a heavy list of advisories relating to the front braking system and rear suspension springs. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of these faults across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses the minimum requirements required to pass the MOT rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 55,851 miles, this 15-year-old Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 3,700 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the records, with only 1,510 miles recorded between the October 2024 and 2025 tests. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation, which is evidenced here by the persistent pitting of brake discs and the corrosion of coil springs that frequently occur when a vehicle sits for long periods or operates on short trips. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking assembly. The tester has flagged corroded rear coil springs annually since 2023, with the issue expanding to include a front spring by 2025. This indicates a structural risk that could lead to sudden spring failure. Furthermore, the front brake discs and pads have been noted as worn, pitted, or thin for four consecutive years starting from 2022. The report of a binding offside front caliper in 2024 further suggests the caliper may be seizing, causing the uneven wear seen on the discs.
