2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EF60 AEZ

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on a clean MOT history, though the most recent test is now over two years old. The last recorded pass on 4 January 2024 at 94,530 miles showed no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to March 2020, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common failure points. The mileage is notably low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 5,908 miles per year. Between March 2020 and January 2021, the car covered 10,914 miles, but the pace slowed significantly thereafter. From March 2021 to January 2024, it added 14,158 miles over nearly three years. This low usage pattern often indicates a secondary vehicle or a short-distance commuter. A buyer must verify the current roadworthiness given the gap since the January 2024 test. Long periods of inactivity can lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. While the record shows no historical issues with suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the age of the vehicle makes a physical inspection of the chassis and sills essential. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for any fluid leaks that may have developed while the car sat idle. Verify the current tyre tread and age, as rubber degrades regardless of mileage. Because the MOT history is unusually clean, a manual check of the service book is necessary to ensure oil changes and timing belt replacements occurred on schedule rather than just relying on the absence of MOT failures.
