2010 FORD FIESTA1.4L Petrol

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 October 2025 at 92,847 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 28 September 2023 at 78,905 miles that the DVLA record shows with no defects logged, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at the same mileage, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 92,847 against sixteen years of age, an average of roughly 5,800 miles per year. The odometer advanced from 66,739 on 11 October 2022 to 78,905 on 28 September 2023, then to 88,190 on 3 October 2024 and 92,847 on 6 October 2025. Annual use stayed between 4,200 and 9,000 miles with no sudden accumulation spikes. Low overall mileage and a clean five-entry history suggest the car saw light, consistent use, though the sparse record leaves long intervals between tests unexamined for interim wear. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the record's silence on consumable condition. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity advisories across all tests is favourable, but MOTs do not strip components and standing periods implied by low mileage can accelerate rubber perishing and brake caliper binding. Verify the tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and exhaust emissions at point of sale. The same-day fail and pass on 28 September 2023 warrants a check of the test certificate reason code to confirm no suppressed defect. Previous owners kept the Fiesta to a clean MOT standard with no recurring faults, pointing to basic but adequate upkeep rather than deferred maintenance.
