2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · PE10 AEC

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2025-04-02 at 133,556 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2023 to 2024 also passed, though a failed test on 2024-04-12 at 130,471 miles—also noted as having no defects—suggests a possible administrative error or minor issue resolved before retesting. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the record indicates consistent maintenance, but the 15-month gap since the last MOT raises concerns about potential undetected issues. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 8,347 miles annually. The car’s 133,556 miles reflect steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2024-04-12 failure occurred just four days before a subsequent pass at 130,536 miles, implying a possible technicality or minor correction. The MOT history lacks anomalies, but the lack of recent testing beyond April 2025—over 15 months ago—limits confidence in its current condition. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions should also be checked for wear, as these systems often degrade over time. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody, warrants scrutiny, as the car’s 16-year lifespan increases rust risk. While the MOT record shows no critical faults, the extended interval since the last test necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm ongoing roadworthiness.
