2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · 206 DVB

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, passing its last five consecutive MOT tests without a single defect. The most recent examination on 13 October 2025 at 53,358 miles recorded zero advisories or failures, demonstrating consistent mechanical integrity. This unblemished record suggests the previous owner addressed all wear items proactively rather than allowing faults to accumulate. Such a clean run across multiple years is rare for a vehicle of this age and points toward diligent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage profile is remarkably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging just 3,335 miles annually. Accumulation is linear and predictable, rising from 49,246 miles in October 2021 to 53,358 miles in October 2025. This equates to an average yearly increase of approximately 1,000 miles, with no sudden spikes or suspicious plateaus in the recorded data. Such low-intensity usage typically spares high-wear drivetrain components, though extended periods of standing can accelerate deterioration of rubber suspension bushes and brake seals. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection must account for the specific aging risks associated with low-mileage urban driving. Tyres often suffer from sidewall cracking and perishing long before the tread wears down, so check the date codes and rubber condition carefully. Brake discs frequently corrode on the friction surface if the car sits for extended periods, leading to binding calipers and judder. Inspect the rear brake operation specifically, as low-speed use prevents the pads from wiping the discs clean. Suspension bushes and exhaust components also degrade with age rather than mileage, so look for perished rubber and corrosion along the system's seams.
