2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RF10 AEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistently clean MOT record. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 57,854 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early October 2024, the immediate retest pass four days later suggests the owner was proactive in addressing the specific mechanical issue flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,616 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 51,791 miles and October 2025 at 57,854 miles, the car covered only 6,063 miles. This low rate of use typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, however, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as suspension bushes and tyres, which may not be fully captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by age rather than distance. Examine the structural integrity of the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for surface corrosion, as low-mileage cars often sit in environments where can accelerate oxidation. Check the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring, as infrequent use can cause calipers to seize up. Additionally, verify the age of the tyres for sidewall cracking to ensure the rubber has not perished despite having significant tread depth remaining.
