2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · SJ 1349

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent MOT on 25 November 2025 at 141,482 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the test just a few days and miles prior to a successful result, suggesting that minor defects are being rectified specifically to pass inspections rather than being addressed through proactive preventative maintenance. At 141,482 miles, this 16-year-old Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,843 miles per year. The mileage accumulation shows a steady and consistent usage pattern, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 5,253 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025. This regularity indicates the vehicle is used regularly for short trips, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long stationary periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that likely triggered the recent failures, as the provided data does not specify the exact faults. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of structural integrity for corrosion on the subframe and sills is required, as these are common failure points for this model. The inspector should also check for wear on suspension bushes and the condition of the brake lines, as these are frequent causes of short-notice failures in high-mileage vehicles of this era.
