2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YB10 AOD

The Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following the February 2022 pass at 103,926 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing broadly stable across the recorded history. The most recent test recorded no defects, though the preceding February 2022 failure at 103,462 miles and the March 2021 failure at 74,550 miles both closed with no defects listed, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or wear items were flagged at any stage, which suggests the vehicle avoided documented consumable neglect. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical 6,495 miles per year for a 2010 vehicle, with the odometer reading 103,926 miles at the final test. The record shows a long gap between the May 2019 pass at 56,814 miles and the March 2021 fail/pass at 74,550 miles, a period covering roughly 17,700 miles with no intermediate test. A further 29,376 miles were added by February 2022, with the two 2022 entries just five days apart at near-identical mileages, pointing to a retest after the initial failure rather than sustained use. The sparse history leaves suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion unverified beyond the test dates. A buyer should commission an independent inspection of the front and rear suspension for worn bushes or fractured coil springs, as sixteen years of use will likely have degraded these components despite the clean MOT slate. The braking system requires physical checks for binding calipers and disc wear, while the exhaust and emissions should be assessed for age-related degradation. Structural integrity beneath the sills and subframes demands close scrutiny for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and the undocumented storage conditions implied by the mileage gaps.
