2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CB10 MAR

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, showing a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 1 December 2025 at 43,968 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This clean record across the last four tests suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the mechanical degradation typical of cars of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,748 miles per year. Data from December 2021 to December 2025 shows the car covered only 4,983 miles over that four-year period. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows only 976 miles driven, indicating intermittent or short-distance usage patterns. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, infrequent use often increases the risk of age-related failure in parts that suffer from time rather than mechanical friction. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished rubber elements, specifically tyre sidewalls, suspension bushes, and wiper blades, which can crack regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires a close look for seized calipers or rusted discs that often occur when a vehicle sits for long periods. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for surface corrosion, as low mileage does not protect the metal from oxidation in damp environments.
