2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PE10 AEA

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 9 June 2025 at 76,478 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show consecutive clean passes. The only anomaly appears in April 2023 when the tester logged a fail on 17 April at 57,948 miles yet listed no defects, followed by a pass on 18 April at 57,950 miles with no defects. This pair of entries suggests an administrative irregularity rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent record shows no worsening condition. The mileage accumulation aligns with low use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 57,950 miles at the April 2023 pass, rose to 64,299 by April 2024, then 64,649 by June 2024, and reached 76,478 by June 2025. Annual averages sit near 4,780 miles, with the final year showing roughly 11,800 miles, a modest increase but still below typical fleet averages. Sparse testing history across three years reveals no rapid accumulation or concerning gaps beyond the one-day fail-pass cluster, implying the previous owners subjected the car to light, periodic driving rather than intensive daily use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components not surfaced by the MOT entries. The clean records provide no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or structural integrity at sill and subframe junctions, yet a 2010 model with intermittent standing can develop hidden corrosion and perished rubber mountings. Examine the exhaust emissions system for internal degradation and verify the binding calipers or handbrake mechanism operate freely despite absence of flagged defects. The lack of recorded faults suggests basic statutory compliance but does not confirm proactive mechanical care from previous keepers.
