2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AO10 AAV

The most recent MOT test on 29 October 2025 shows a pass with no recorded defects, indicating a temporary improvement in roadworthiness compared to the previous year. However, the maintenance trend shows intermittent issues with consumables and suspension components. The record shows a transition from a failure in November 2023 to several advisories in November 2024, before reaching the clean pass in late 2025. The vehicle has covered 71,610 miles over its 16-year lifespan, averaging approximately 4,476 miles per year. This represents low annual usage. The MOT history shows relatively consistent annual testing, with the most recent tests occurring in late 2024 and late 2025. There are no significant gaps in the testing frequency, though the low mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension and steering components. The November 2024 test flagged worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes, following a major failure in November 2023 for a fractured offside front coil spring. These recurring suspension advisories suggest that while the immediate faults were rectified, the underlying wear in the chassis components warrants close scrutiny. Tyre condition and braking components also require attention. The records show a pattern of tyre wear and damage, including a cut reaching the cords in 2023 and edge wear noted in 2022 and 2024. The November 2024 test also identified thinning front brake pads and a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel. While the 2025 test was clear, the history of these specific issues indicates they are common points of wear for this vehicle. buying_score: 68 risk_level: Low.
