2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AE10 LKC

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 5 May 2023 at 165,688 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the prior 2 March 2022 pass at 157,439 miles. No advisories or failures appear across the two available entries, indicating the vehicle cleared inspection without flagged wear or corrosion at either point. Mileage sat at 157,439 in March 2022 and rose to 165,688 by May 2023, a gain of 8,249 miles over roughly fourteen months. That equates to near the vehicle's lifetime average of about 10,356 miles per year, so accumulation is unremarkable for a sixteen-year-old car. The record shows only two tests across the final stretch of ownership, leaving a gap before 2022 and no data after May 2023, now over three years stale relative to today's date. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. The clean MOT history does not rule out latent issues such as tired suspension bushes, worn brake discs, or structural rust that a tester might not have cited under the older test regime. Given the 165,688 miles on the clock, expect consumable items like tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust components to reflect age-related fatigue even where the DVSA record stayed clear. Prior owners kept the car to a passing standard on the two recorded dates, with no repeat failures suggesting skipped basic upkeep. The absence of advisories implies reasonable care, but the sparse trail means in-person checks on coil springs, binding calipers, and underbody corrosion remain essential to confirm the roadworthiness the certificates imply.
