FORD FIESTA2010 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a roadworthy condition based on its most recent MOT on 2026-02-12 at 196,158 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability, with no recurring issues flagged in the last three tests. However, the 2025-02-14 failure at 189,718 miles—immediately followed by a pass the next day at 189,720 miles—suggests a potential administrative error or minor, unresolved fault. No defects were recorded in the 2025-02-15 test, indicating the vehicle has since met standards. The mileage of 196,158 miles over 16 years equates to 12,260 annual miles, which is high for the model’s age. Notable gaps include a 17,600-mile increase between the 2023-04-18 test (158,489 miles) and 2023-10-24 (176,549 miles), reflecting rapid accumulation. Subsequent tests show slower growth, with 13,200 miles added between 2023-10-24 and 2025-02-15, then 6,438 miles by 2026-02-12. This pattern suggests variable usage, potentially exposing components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems to accelerated wear. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and check brake components for uneven wear or corrosion. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for rust, as prolonged use increases vulnerability. While no structural corrosion or major faults were recorded, the vehicle’s age and mileage imply that hidden issues may exist. A pre-purchase inspection should prioritise these areas to confirm the MOT records align with the car’s actual condition.
