2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CV60 ODT

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 1 September 2023 at 70,557 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2021 and 2022 also passed cleanly, indicating no ongoing mechanical or structural decline across the observed period. The single failure event did not carry forward as a recurring fault. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, totalling 70,557 miles or roughly 4,410 miles per year. The record shows 47,788 miles at the 25 August 2021 test, rising to 50,589 miles by the 5 August 2022 failure and 50,645 miles five days later on the pass. A large jump to 70,557 miles appears by September 2023, implying the car covered about 19,900 miles in that final year, a sharp departure from prior low use. The MOT data itself is sparse, with no advisories or defects logged beyond the unexplained 2022 failure. The August 2022 failure at 50,589 miles carries no recorded defects, which suggests a documentation or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean pass five days later, no specific component was left unremedied. The buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion in person, as the low annual mileage and likely periods of standing can accelerate perishable rubber and hidden rust despite a clear test history. A pre-purchase check should confirm the reason for the 2022 failure through DVSA archives and verify the odometer jump reflects genuine use, not a recording error. With no advisories across four tests, the vehicle shows signs of basic upkeep, though the aged Ford chassis warrants a physical look at structural integrity before commitment.
