2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DL10 FNU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 80,912 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clean results since 2021. This suggests the mechanical and safety systems have been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate failure during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between August 2021 at 71,692 miles and September 2025 at 80,912 miles, the car covered only 9,220 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of remaining stationary. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which does not always manifest through mileage alone. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should examine the suspension bushes for cracking and check the coil springs for perish, as these parts often dry out over time. Given the low usage, it is vital to inspect the brake calipers for seizing or corrosion on the discs, which occurs when vehicles are not driven frequently. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches remains essential to ensure that surface rust has not compromised the chassis despite the lack of recorded defects.
