2011 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YY11 FNP

The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following a successful MOT on 10 November 2025 at 92,344 miles. This pass followed a significant failure just twelve days prior on 30 October 2025, which flagged multiple issues including inoperative registration plate lamps, a failed stop lamp, two tyres below the legal 1.6mm limit, and a worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. While the most recent test shows no defects, the pattern of failures in late 2024 and late 2025 suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive servicing. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 6,156 miles per year over its lifespan. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 75,769 in June 2020 to 92,344 in November 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, though the frequency of failures regarding consumables like tyres and bulbs indicates that basic upkeep has been intermittent. A prospective buyer must pay close attention to the structural integrity of the chassis. The MOT record shows a persistent trend of corrosion, with the front sub-frame flagged as corroded in every test from 2021 through to 2024. Although the 2024 report noted the sub-frame was not seriously weakened, the presence of general corrosion throughout the vehicle is a long-term concern for a car of this age. The 2021 test also highlighted corroded front brake pipes, which requires careful inspection to ensure no further degradation has occurred. Suspension and steering components also require a physical check. The history shows recurring issues with ball joints, including an anti-roll bar joint in 2023, a track rod end in 2024, and a lower suspension arm ball joint in 2025. Given the recent failures involving these components and the history of worn tyres, a thorough inspection of the front-end geometry, suspension bushes, and tyre wear patterns is necessary to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from alignment issues or neglected wear.
