2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SK60 BDE

The 2010 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-17 at 99,817 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals frequent failures in early 2025, including two consecutive fails on 2025-03-18 and 2025-04-11 at the same mileage, without recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential issues with minor components or procedural compliance, though no critical faults were flagged. The lack of defects in the latest test implies repairs or adjustments were made, but the recurring fails prior to this raise questions about the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. The mileage progression shows a steady increase, with 97,977 miles recorded in 2024 and 99,817 miles by 2025. The 1,840-mile jump between the 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the vehicle’s average annual usage of ~6,239 miles, suggesting normal wear. However, the repeated MOT tests at identical mileages in early 2025—particularly the two fails and subsequent pass within a month—indicates possible unresolved issues or repeated testing without significant mileage changes. This sparse data offers limited insight into long-term mechanical trends, though the absence of structural or safety-critical defects in the latest test is reassuring. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are commonly affected by age and usage. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate the risk of hidden wear, such as degraded suspension bushes or corroded exhaust components, which may not trigger immediate MOT failures. Additionally, the vehicle’s history of repeated MOT attempts, even without defects, warrants a thorough pre-purchase check for electrical systems, lighting, and emission controls. While the current roadworthiness appears acceptable, the maintenance pattern underscores the need for a professional assessment to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
