2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YD60 ABX

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy based on the most recent DVSA test conducted on 7 August 2025, approximately eleven months prior to today's date, at 12,580 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with consecutive annual passes from August 2022 through August 2025 showing no advisories or mechanical faults. The sole anomaly appears on 10 August 2023, when the vehicle simultaneously logged a pass and a failure at 11,418 miles, both with no defects listed; this points to a clerical or administrative irregularity rather than a deterioration in condition. Odometer readings confirm exceptionally low usage for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows 10,674 miles in the August 2022 test, rising to 11,418 miles by August 2023, then 12,059 miles in August 2024 and 12,580 miles in August 2025. That equates to roughly 500 to 600 miles added each year, well below typical averages. Such limited annual accumulation suggests prolonged periods of storage. The clean test outcomes across this period indicate the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the sparse defect data offers little insight into component-level care beyond the absence of flagged issues. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on degradation typical of long-standing vehicles. The tester never flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs or structural corrosion in any entry, yet extended inactivity invites perishing of rubber components and binding calipers from lack of use. Examine the subframe and sills for rust, check the brake calipers for free movement, and assess tyre sidewalls for cracking despite adequate tread. Low mileage does not exempt the Fiesta from age-related wear on consumables and sealed systems.
