2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EF60 AEY

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 16 January 2026 at 82,162 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,135 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last four years, rising from 72,440 miles in December 2022 to 82,162 miles in January 2026. This gradual increase indicates the car has been used regularly rather than left to stand for extended periods, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perishing rubber seals. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, with no advisories or failures recorded across the last five tests. There is no evidence of recurring issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, or exhaust emissions. The absence of any flagged corrosion is positive for a vehicle of this age, though the lack of recorded wear on consumables suggests the previous owner may have performed maintenance outside of the MOT cycle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT test may overlook or that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for oil leaks around the engine seals and inspect the condition of the cambelt and water pump, as these are time-sensitive items. Verify the date of the last service to ensure the low mileage has not led to extended oil change intervals.
