2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · R3 TVG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend despite recurring minor testing failures. The most recent MOT conducted on 28 May 2025 at 132,107 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a failure just four days prior at 131,842 miles. This pattern suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying identified issues immediately to ensure compliance, rather than allowing the vehicle to operate with known faults. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 132,107 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 8,257 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for an older city car. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 6,700 miles covered between August 2023 and May 2024, and another 7,700 miles between May 2024 and May 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that likely triggered the failures in 2024 and 2025. Since the record shows no specific defects listed for those failures, they were likely related to minor items such as light bulbs, wiper blades, or slight brake efficiency issues. Given the age and mileage of this Fiesta, a thorough check of structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential. Additionally, the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs should be verified, as these are common points of wear on vehicles of this era regardless of low annual mileage.
