2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CV60 GGA

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 18 September 2023 at 125,097 miles returning a pass after an initial failure on the same day that recorded no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2022 and 2021 also passed cleanly with no advisories, so the maintenance trend shows no worsening and no recurring defects across the available record. The odometer stood at 104,823 miles for the August 2021 test, rose to 107,699 miles by September 2022, then jumped to 125,097 miles by September 2023. That final year added over 17,000 miles, roughly double the car's long-term average of 7,819 miles per year, after two years of very low use. The sparse four-entry history shows no gaps beyond the usual annual cycle, but the clean sheets mean wear items were either within limits or replaced before testing. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's 16-year age and the high-mileage final year. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the record is reassuring, yet DVSA testers only flag visible defects at the time. Examine the exhaust system and underbody for rust that may now be developing post-2023. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition as basic consumables, and confirm the September 2023 failure-with-no-defects was a clerical error not masking a withdrawn test. The clean MOT trail implies previous owners kept the car to test standard, but the mileage spike warrants verifying service history for that period.
