2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AY59 DFX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean MOT pass on 28 July 2025 at 148,784 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent over the last three years, despite a singular anomalous failure recorded on 17 June 2025 at 148,771 miles. Because that failure showed no recorded defects in the system, it likely represented an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent test found no remaining mechanical faults. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's sixteen-year age, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 145,324 miles and July 2025 at 148,784 miles, the car covered 3,460 miles, indicating a significant drop in usage over the last three years. This low annual mileage suggests that while drivetrain components may not have excessive wear, components such as rubber seals and age-related fluid degradation become the primary concern rather than mechanical mileage stress. Given the high total mileage and the lack of recorded advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Older Ford Fiesta of this era are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and sills, which the MOT does not always flag until they become structural failures. Also check for perished suspension bushes and signs of leaking dampers, as the long periods of standing can lead to rubber drying out and cracking regardless of the low mileage driven.
