2010 FORD FIESTA1.4L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 13 August 2025 with 158,044 miles and no recorded defects. While the history shows instances of immediate failure on the same dates in 2023 and 2025, the owner has consistently rectified the underlying issues to achieve a pass. The lack of advisories on the latest certificate suggests that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum regulatory standards. At 158,044 miles over 16 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,878 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent annual testing, with 1,520 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 4,222 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This regularity suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent seal degradation and seized components in older Fords models. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as the recurring failures in 2023 and 2025 indicate specific components that require immediate replacement or adjustment. Given the high mileage and age, a close examination of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and rear subframe is essential to ensure structural integrity has not degraded. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rubber bushes and the wear on the brake discs, as these are common points of failure on vehicles at this mileage interval.
