2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BF 5689

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly roadworthy status as of the most recent test on 3 June 2025 at 34,532 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year MOT span, with every annual examination from 14 June 2022 through to June 2025 resulting in a pass and no advisories logged. One anomaly appears on 3 June 2025, when a failure was recorded at the same mileage with no defects cited before the immediate pass on the same day; this points to an administrative or documentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows light, consistent use for a sixteen-year-old car. The odometer read 29,246 miles in June 2022, rose to 31,120 by June 2023, 32,662 by May 2024, and 34,532 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,100 miles per year, confirming the low annual accumulation stated for the vehicle. No gaps or sudden mileage jumps exist in the sequence, and the clean advisory history suggests the previous keeper carried out basic upkeep without deferring consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. Low mileage combined with age invites degraded rubber components such as suspension bushes, track rod ends, and door seals even where the MOT found no play or corrosion. Standing periods between short trips accelerate brake caliper seizure and flat spots on tyres; the tester noted none, but these faults develop between tests. Check underside structural integrity for trapped moisture rust around sills and subframes, and confirm brake discs are free from lip wear. The Fiesta's recorded history is reassuring, yet sixteen years of intermittent use demands hands-on verification of items the annual test cannot capture.
