2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AP59 GKZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 156,136 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent trend of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that avoids common failure points. The mileage pattern shows a significant and sudden increase in usage. Between 26 May 2021 and 24 May 2024, the car covered roughly 11,000 miles. However, in the year leading up to the May 2025 test, the mileage jumped from 90,222 to 156,136 miles. This addition of over 65,000 miles in a single year indicates a period of intense use, likely for long-distance commuting or fleet work, which differs sharply from the previous four years of light usage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components due to this recent surge in mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the rapid accumulation of miles puts immediate pressure on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. Check for oil leaks and assess the condition of the clutch and gearbox, as the sudden increase in load often accelerates wear in these areas. Inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. Although the tester flagged no structural issues in May 2025, a 16-year-old Ford Fiesta remains susceptible to rust. Verify the remaining tread depth on all tyres and check for uneven wear, which would indicate a need for wheel alignment or worn shock absorbers following the recent high-mileage period.
