2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · DA10 SBY

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 February 2026 at 63,626 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass on 28 February 2025 at 58,744 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared its last two examinations without advisories or faults. The record shows no worsening mechanical issues across the observed period. The odometer reads 63,626 miles against sixteen years of age, an average of roughly 3,977 miles per year. This low accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods rather than high drivetrain stress. Between the February 2024 failure at 52,110 miles and the February 2026 pass, the car added only 11,516 miles over two years. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean aside from two same-day failures in 2024 and 2025 that list no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and likely periods of inactivity that accelerate rubber perishing and surface corrosion. The 2024 and 2025 same-day fail-then-pass cycles with zero recorded defects imply the tester initially rejected the car on non-itemised grounds before clearing it; verify the underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions system physically. Low mileage Fiestas of this era often hide rust at sills and subframes, so a ramp check remains prudent before purchase.
