2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BF60 SVS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on October 2024 at 23,162 miles. While previous years showed specific mechanical failures, the trend indicates that identified faults are being addressed immediately upon detection. The lack of any advisories in the two most recent tests suggests the current owner is performing necessary reactive repairs to keep the vehicle compliant with minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 1,450 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered just 232 miles, indicating it is used very infrequently or remains stationary for long periods. While this low mileage typically limits mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the onset of corrosion which is not always reflected in odometer readings alone. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the record shows recurring issues with these components. The tester flagged a deteriorated offside anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover in both 2021 and 2023, alongside a fractured nearside front coil spring in October 2023. These faults suggest that rubber seals and metal springs are failing due to age rather rather than distance. Additionally, since the brake system was flagged for thin front inner pads in 2021, a physical check of the current pad thickness and rotor is required to ensure no calipers have seized during long periods of inactivity.
