Our Verdict
Approach this 2010 Ford Fiesta with sign
Given the 2024 MOT failure and the recurrence of CV boot and steering rack gaiter deterioration in 2026, any prospective buyer should budget for immediate attention to the front suspension and drivetrain. The offside front outer drive shaft CV boot and anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover have both flagged as severely deteriorated in 2026 — these are the same components that caused an MOT failure in 2024, suggesting either a partial repair that has since degraded or an ongoing wear pattern. Negotiate the asking price down to reflect the likely £300-£600 cost of replacement CV boots, gaiters, and suspension bushes.
Request to see any invoices for work carried out between March 2024 and the re-test on 19 March 2024, as well as any repairs made since the 2026 advisories were issued. The 1.25-litre Duratec engine is generally regarded as a simple, durable unit, but with 99,646 miles on the clock, expect consumables such as a cambelt (if due), coolant, and spark plugs to be approaching replacement intervals. Confirm service history independently — MOT records alone cannot confirm whether the vehicle has been serviced to schedule.
The 1.25-litre petrol Fiesta typically returns 40-50 mpg in real-world driving, making it one of the more economical small cars on the market. Road tax for a 2010 petrol car in this engine size falls in a moderate band, and insurance is generally in groups 5-7, keeping premiums affordable for most drivers. Annual maintenance for a Fiesta of this age and mileage typically runs £400-£700 for routine servicing, but this particular car's advisories suggest a higher-than-average spend in the near term.
With the CV boot, steering gaiter, and suspension components all flagged in 2026, realistic near-term spend could push annual running costs to £800-£1,200 once repair work is included. Budget for new front tyres as both were flagged as worn or perished in 2026. Parts for the Fiesta are inexpensive and widely available, which helps keep repair bills contained.
Pay close attention to the offside front suspension and drivetrain. The 2024 MOT failure recorded an unbonded rear bush on the offside front lower suspension arm, and the 2026 test noted a severely deteriorated anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover on the same side — jack up the front and inspect for play in the bushes, ball joints, and anti-roll bar links. The offside front outer drive shaft CV boot has been flagged as split or severely deteriorated at both the 2024 fail and the 2026 advisory test, so look for fresh grease around the boot and listen for clicking noises when turning at full lock.
Inspect the front sub-frame for corrosion — the 2026 test recorded it as corroded but not seriously weakened, which is a yellow flag for future MOT attention. Check the steering rack gaiter on the offside front for splits and the condition of the rear heatshield, which has been flagged loose in both 2024 and 2026 tests. Finally, verify that the indicator switch and rear direction indicator colour issues from 2024 have been properly resolved, and confirm the oil leak noted in 2024 has not worsened.
This blue 1.25-litre petrol Ford Fiesta has covered 99,646 miles across three MOT tests that pass and one fail. The March 2024 failure included a rear suspension arm bush that was unbonded, a split CV boot, and a faulty indicator switch — all of which were subsequently cleared at the re-test five days later, but the recent 2026 test shows the offside front CV boot dust cover has severely deteriorated again, along with a corroded front sub-frame. Mileage at 99,646 over 16 years equates to roughly 6,228 miles per year, marginally above the model average of 5,774. The MOT pass rate of 77.7% across 1.5 million Fiestas sets the benchmark — this individual car sits at three passes from four attempts (75%), slightly below average.
Across 1,516,107 Ford Fiestas analysed, the average MOT pass rate is 77.7%, with the most common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs. The model is broadly regarded as a dependable small car, though older examples like this 2010 1.25-litre are starting to show age-related wear in suspension and drivetrain components.
