FORD DORCHESTER2010 · 4.0L Petrol

The 2010 Ford Dorchester presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 September 2025 at 91,721 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT results. Annual mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle. The records show 62,795 miles in September 2021, rising to 70,966 by September 2022, 77,398 in September 2023, 84,696 in September 2024, and 91,721 in September 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 miles per year across the logged period, below the national average and consistent with light use. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the sequence; the DVSA data is sparse but uniformly clean, with zero advisories or failures across all five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear test history. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often spend extended periods stationary, which accelerates perishable component degradation not captured in a pass result. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers warrant hands-on checks for cracking or seizure. Structural corrosion beneath the sills and subframes needs scrutiny, as moisture ingress during idle periods can compromise integrity without triggering an MOT advisory. Verify the service history matches the recorded mileages and confirm tyre sidewall condition, given the car's likely low-frequency use.
