2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YD10 AAU

This Ford Fiesta presents a remarkably stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 4 February 2026 at 151,184 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a four-year trend of passing every inspection without a single advisory or failure, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 9,449 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has varied naturally, with a notable increase between March 2022 at 107,393 miles and March 2023 at 124,856 miles, where the vehicle covered over 17,000 miles in a single year. More recent intervals have stabilised, with 5,321 miles added between February 2025 and February 2026. The total absence of advisories over the last five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the DVSA records show no recurring faults with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, a buyer should still verify the condition of the chassis. Ford Fiestas of this era are prone to corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, which may not always be flagged if the vehicle has been undersealed or the corrosion is superficial. A physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the clean record implies these consumables are being managed. Given the 151,184-mile odometer reading, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is the primary priority to ensure long-term mechanical reliability.
