2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CV10 KSN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 61,002 miles with no recorded defects. The overall maintenance trend appears stable following a period of concern in early 2025. While the car previously failed due to an inoperative nearside stop lamp and worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes, these issues were rectified before the subsequent test, indicating that the owner is responsive to safety-critical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ford, averaging only approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of low use between 2013 and 2020, where the vehicle covered only 3,687 miles over seven years. Since 2020, usage has increased noticeably, covering over 33,000 miles in six years. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, though the age of the vehicle increases the risk of dry rot degradation in rubber components and seals, regardless of the odometer reading. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, as the swivel pins and bushes were already flagged in 2025. Although the car passed the latest test, these components are prone to seizing on vehicles that sit for long periods. The brake history shows a pattern of thinning pads and pitted discs in 2023, so a physical inspection of the front rotors and calipers is necessary to ensure they have not been neglected or suffered from corrosion. Given the car's age and low annual mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and underbody is essential to ensure long-term storage has not compromised the integrity of the chassis.
