2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE60 BDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes following an initial setback. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 45,054 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, marking a three-year streak of clean passes. This indicates that the mechanical and safety-critical components currently meet DVSA standards without immediate concern, suggesting the previous owner has addressed any minor issues as they arose. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,816 miles per year. Data shows a steady, incremental increase between tests, such as the 1,298 miles driven between August 2023 and 2024, and 1,463 miles in the following year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also suggests the vehicle may have been subject to age-related degradation of rubber parts, seals, and fluids, which can dry out over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to failure in low-mileage, older cars. Check for cracked tyre sidewalls, perished suspension bushes, and fluid leaks from the engine or gearbox that may stem from long stationary periods. While the MOT record is currently clean since the 2022 failure, the age of the Fiesta warrants a close look at structural integrity, specifically the sills and brake lines, to ensure that corrosion has not been overlooked despite the low mileage.
