2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CA59 TWX

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and sound roadworthiness status, culminating in a clean pass on 25 March 2026 at 95,061 miles. The maintenance trend remains consistently positive, with no defects recorded across the recent MOT history. Although a failed test appears on the same date as the most recent pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests an administrative anomaly or a rectified minor issue rather than a recurring mechanical fault. The vehicle demonstrates a reliable pattern of passing its annual inspections without advisories or failures requiring extensive repairs. The recorded mileage indicates exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,941 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 92,289 miles and the March 2025 test at 94,052 miles, the car covered 1,763 miles. This dropped to 1,009 miles over the following twelve months, reaching 95,061 miles by March 2026. Such minimal accumulation often points to short, localized journeys or prolonged periods of standing, which can cause specific wear patterns distinct from high-mileage driving. Despite the pristine MOT record, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for issues typical of low-mileage, older vehicles that MOTs do not always capture. Short trips prevent the engine and exhaust from reaching optimal operating temperatures, potentially causing moisture buildup and corroded exhaust components. Suspension bushes and coil springs may have deteriorated from age and standing rather than mileage, leading to perishing or sagging. Tyres will likely suffer from flat-spotting and sidewall cracking due to prolonged stationary periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion from lack of use, and check the undercarriage for structural rust, as low mileage does not exempt a sixteen-year-old vehicle from corrosion.
