2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · BN10 GXY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a persistent failure to address minor mechanical defects. In the most recent test on 29 May 2026 at 133,522 miles, the car passed despite a noted front oil leak and a minor exhaust gas leak. These specific issues are recurring, dating back to 2022 and 2024, suggesting that the exhaust system and engine seals are being managed through tolerance rather than repair. At 133,522 miles over 16 years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,345 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for its age. The mileage data shows a steady accumulation pattern, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between the 2025 and 2026 tests, and another 6,700 enough between 2024 and 2025. This consistent usage places standard stress on age-related rubber components, suspension bushings, and drivetrain assemblies. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the exhaust system, as the minor leak has been flagged in four consecutive annual tests since 2022. The history of thin brake pads and pitted discs in 2022 and 2023 indicates that the braking system is serviced only when failure nears. Furthermore, the recurring edge wear on front tyres noted in 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle should be checked for alignment issues or worn suspension geometry. Finally, the damaged seat belt webbing identified in 2025 must be verified for safety, as this is a critical failure of the restraint system.
