2010 FORD FIESTA1.4L Petrol

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across its five most recent tests, including the latest in September 2025 at 122,555 miles. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids major mechanical failures or structural concerns. The absence of advisories or faults in any of the tests—spanning from April 2021 to September 2025—indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no signs of worsening issues. Such a record is uncommon for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the Fiesta’s reputation for common wear items like suspension bushes and brake components. The most recent test’s pass, just ten months ago, confirms the car meets current roadworthiness standards without immediate red flags. The mileage accumulation reflects typical usage for its age, averaging around 7,660 miles per year over the past five years. The gap between the 2021 test (83,181 miles) and the 2022 test (85,694 miles) suggests a period of lower activity or potential inactivity, though the subsequent tests show steady mileage increases—consistent with regular use. There are no sudden spikes or drops that would imply neglect or aggressive driving. The absence of mileage discrepancies between tests further supports the likelihood of accurate odometer readings, reducing concerns about tampering. Given the flawless MOT history, a buyer should still verify key wear items in person, particularly those prone to silent failure in Fiestas of this era. Focus on the suspension—check for worn or cracked bushes in the control arms, struts, or track rod ends, as these often degrade without obvious symptoms. Inspect the brake system thoroughly: binding calipers, uneven disc wear, or seized hubs can develop without prior MOT warnings. Structural integrity is less of a concern here, but a close look at the sills, wheel arches, and rear trailing arm mounts for corrosion or fatigue cracks is prudent. While the MOT record is reassuring, these components are the most likely to fail between tests in a vehicle of this age and mileage.
