2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AP59 GME

The vehicle currently maintains a clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. While the record shows a recurring pattern of a failed test immediately preceding a pass on the same day during the 2024 and 2025 inspections, the absence of specific advisory notes suggests these were likely administrative or minor rectifications rather than systemic mechanical failures. The overall trend remains stable, indicating that the vehicle has been presented for testing in a compliant state for the past three years. Accumulating 75,956 miles over a sixteen-year lifespan averages to approximately 4,747 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The consistent annual testing intervals since 2023 confirm the car has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is a positive indicator for the longevity of seals, gaskets, and fuel system components. This low-mileage usage profile suggests the drivetrain has been spared the heavy wear typically associated with high-frequency commuting. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often deteriorate due to age-related perishing rather than mileage accumulation. Check the structural integrity of the sills and subframe for signs of corrosion, which can be masked by underseal on older Fords. Verify that the handbrake holds firmly on an incline and listen for any abnormal noise from the wheel bearings during a test drive, as these items are frequently overlooked in basic annual inspections despite their importance to long-term vehicle reliability.
