2010 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently unverifiable as the MOT record is severely outdated. The most recent test on 11 April 2022 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, but this certificate expired over four years ago relative to the current date of 26 July 2026. There is no evidence of a current valid MOT, meaning the car cannot legally be driven on public roads. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2010 model. Recording 75,139 miles over sixteen years averages roughly 4,696 miles per year. However, the data shows the vehicle has remained static at 75,139 miles since the April 2022 test. This indicates the car has not been driven for over four years, which presents a different set of mechanical risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. Perished tyre sidewalls and flat spots are likely, as is the potential for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs. The battery is almost certainly depleted or failed, and the fuel system may require flushing if the petrol has degraded. Special attention should be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension bushes. Low-mileage cars that sit idle often suffer from accelerated corrosion in the underbody and drying out of rubber seals. A physical check for oil leaks and a full service are essential to ensure the engine and drivetrain remain functional after such a prolonged dormant period.
