2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CY10 BHA

The Ford Fiesta currently holds a failed roadworthiness status following the 18 February 2026 test at 102,138 miles, where the tester recorded no specific defects yet issued a failure. The maintenance trend shows repeated test failures immediately preceding passes across three consecutive years, with the 26 February 2025 and 23 February 2024 failures both cleared within days at identical mileages. This pattern indicates a worsening administrative or presentation issue at test rather than a stable, clean history, though no mechanical advisories or defects appear in the supplied record. The recorded mileage rose from 87,912 in February 2024 to 95,017 in February 2025 and 102,138 by February 2026, an average of roughly 7,100 miles per year against a 16-year life total of 102,138. The annual accumulation sits close to the typical 6,384-mile expectation for the age, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data itself is sparse, showing passes and near-immediate failures with no listed defects, which limits any deeper wear inference from the record alone. A buyer should physically verify the reason for the February 2026 failure despite the absence of recorded defects, as a no-defect fail often points to documentation, emissions measurement, or tester input error needing confirmation. Given the car's 2010 build and 102,138 miles, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion for age-related degradation not captured in the minimal MOT entries. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath, since the repeated same-mileage fail-pass cycles suggest previous owners addressed only what forced a retest rather than proactive upkeep.
