2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CK60 ACO

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-05-03 at 71,891 miles, which passed without defects. The prior test in 2024-05-08 at 65,038 miles also passed, while a failed test on 2024-05-03 at 64,889 miles recorded no defects, an anomaly that may indicate procedural error or minor non-compliance. Subsequent tests from 2023-05-17 and 2022-10-14 showed consistent passing with no recorded issues, suggesting the vehicle has maintained compliance over the past four years despite the unexplained failure. The mileage of 71,891 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,493 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests the vehicle may have experienced long periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, rubber component degradation, and brake system stiffness. Notably, the 2024-05-03 test occurred just five days after the 2024-05-08 pass, raising questions about the validity of the failure. The absence of defects in most tests implies routine maintenance was prioritized, though low mileage could mask wear in components like suspension bushes or drivetrain joints. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity may accelerate deterioration. Brake systems require scrutiny for corrosion or binding calipers, particularly given the low usage pattern. Structural integrity should be assessed for rust, especially in areas prone to moisture ingress. While the MOT record shows no major faults, the unexplained failure and low mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition and address potential hidden issues.
