2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DU60 WJC

The vehicle presents a highly roadworthy profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 19,578 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has remained well-maintained and has not suffered from progressive mechanical degradation typically seen in cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 1,224 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 15,998 miles and March 2026 at 19,578 miles, the car covered only 3,580 miles. The gap between the October 2024 and March 2025 tests indicates periods of minimal use or-term storage. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases the risk associated with components aging due to stationary time rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than high wear. Check for sidewall cracking on tyres, perished rubber hoses, and potentially seized brake calipers due to lack of regular use. Although the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the underside should be inspected for surface rust which can develop quickly when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Ensure the engine fluids are fresh, as moisture contamination can occur over time regardless of the mileage recorded.
