2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DY60 FHB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 4 February 2026, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of neglect regarding common wear items. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the initial failure on the same day due to a fractured coil spring and a faulty position lamp highlights a reactive approach to vehicle care rather than proactive servicing. The recurring presence of advisory items suggests that the previous owner tended to address only the absolute minimum requirements to achieve a pass, leaving secondary mechanical components to deteriorate over successive testing cycles. With 106,088 miles accumulated over 16 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,630 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The mileage progression appears steady across the provided history, showing an increase of roughly 3,500 to 4,000 miles between annual tests. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car has been in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent the specific types of mechanical seizing often associated with long-term storage. Prospective buyers must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front sub-frame, as the current advisory regarding corrosion indicates the onset of structural degradation that will require monitoring or eventual remediation. The history of suspension faults, specifically the previous wear in the track rod ends and the recent coil spring failure, necessitates a close check of all front-end bushings and dampers for signs of fatigue. Given the past reports of a binding service brake and a distorted road wheel, ensure the vehicle tracks straight under braking and check the alloy wheels for any remaining signs of impact damage that could affect tyre wear or wheel bearing longevity.
