2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · PL10 AEK

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-10-07 assessment at 71,047 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also showed clean results, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The vehicle’s low mileage of 71,047 over 16 years suggests minimal usage, which aligns with its unremarkable MOT history. No advisories or failures have been logged, reflecting a lack of significant wear or structural concerns in the recorded period. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 4,440 miles annually, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps. The 2021-08-16 test at 56,355 miles and the 2022-07-04 test at 58,305 miles reveal a 1,950-mile jump over 11 months, which could indicate periods of reduced activity. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, reaching 62,850 miles by 2023-06-27 and 67,764 miles by 2024-10-07. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven sparingly, potentially leading to aged rubber components or corrosion if stored for prolonged periods. However, the absence of recorded issues mitigates immediate risks. A buyer should inspect for signs of long-term inactivity, such as brittle hoses, seized suspension bushes, or corrosion in hidden panels. While no mechanical faults are documented, the low mileage may mask wear on components like brake discs or exhaust systems, which could deteriorate during infrequent use. A physical check of the underbody, wheel bearings, and steering linkages is advisable to confirm the vehicle’s condition. The MOT history provides no cause for alarm, but the unusual mileage profile warrants careful evaluation of the car’s storage and usage history.
