2010 Ford Fiesta Zetec S Tdci 1.6L Diesel · DFZ 1172

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 26 October 2025 at 121,343 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed its tests over the last three years. There are no recorded defects or advisories in the most recent entries, suggesting the vehicle is being kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is typical for a 16 year old car, averaging roughly 7,584 miles per year. The usage pattern shows a steady increase from 105,012 miles in March 2023 to 121,343 miles by October 2025. A notable jump in usage occurred between July 2024 and October 2025, where the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in approximately 15 months. This indicates the car has remained in active use rather than sitting idle. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age, showing no specific mechanical failures or advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. While the absence of flagged faults is positive, it is rare for a 2010 model to have zero recorded advisories over several years. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for surface rust and check the condition of the timing belt and water pump, as these service items do not appear on MOT certificates but are critical for the TDCI engine. Given the lack of data on wear items, a physical inspection should focus on the depth of the tyre treads and the thickness of the brake pads. The two recorded failures in March 2023 and October 2025 were resolved quickly, but the lack of detail in the records means the specific causes of those failures remain unknown. Verifying the service history against the mileage increases will confirm if the oil and filters were changed in line with the 121,343 recorded miles.
