2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EF60 AEB

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a roadworthy status based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-18, which recorded a pass at 27,985 miles with no defects. However, the same date includes a failed test with identical mileage, suggesting a possible administrative error or unresolved issue. The prior year’s tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical faults are documented, but the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden concerns requiring physical inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 27,985 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 1,749 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of regular operation. The MOT history shows consistent annual testing, with minimal mileage progression—24,638 miles in 2023, 26,355 in 2024, and 27,985 in 2025—indicating controlled usage but no evidence of rapid deterioration. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can mask wear from static storage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car was parked for extended periods. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion are also critical, as stagnant conditions may compromise rust resistance. While the MOT records show no immediate risks, the vehicle’s low mileage and frequent annual testing warrant a thorough mechanical evaluation to confirm its operational soundness.
