2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CA10 CEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted on August 22, 2025 at 78,851 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure just ten miles prior. This suggests a minor presentation issue that required immediate rectification rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2024, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories or failures reported across consecutive tests. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,851 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 3,255 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 4,340 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber parts and brake corrosion due to long periods of stationary use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity around wheel arches and sills is essential to identify hidden corrosion common in this Fiesta generation. The suspension should be inspected for perished bushes and leaking dampers, as low-frequency use can lead to components seizing over time. Additionally, verify the brake calipers for binding or surface pitting, as infrequent use often results in rust on the discs despite the low overall mileage.
