2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · EK10 AEP

This 2010 Ford Fiesta has maintained a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its most recent tests, most notably passing on 6 June 2025 at 127,500 miles. The absence of advisories or failures in the last two tests suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable condition, though the double entry on 25 November 2022—where it was tested and then passed—raises minor curiosity about why a retest was required. No serious recurring issues have been logged, but the lack of advisories in later tests implies any potential concerns were either resolved or not severe enough to warrant mention. The most recent MOT, just over a year ago, aligns with the 12-month testing interval, so the vehicle is currently compliant. The recorded mileage of 127,500 miles over 16 years reflects an average of approximately 8,000 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests shows a modest increase of around 3,200 miles in just over a year, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 tests indicates roughly 2,764 miles were covered in 13 months. There are no extreme mileage spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, though the double test in late 2022 suggests either a rushed inspection or a minor oversight that required verification. No advisories or failures in later tests imply that whatever prompted the retest was likely resolved without further complications. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common wear items on vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, including calipers, pads, and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially if the vehicle has experienced varied driving conditions. Structural integrity, particularly in the wheel arches and sills, should be examined for signs of corrosion, as rust can compromise safety-critical elements over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or excessive corrosion, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in older models. While the MOT history is reassuring, these areas warrant close attention to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy beyond its current compliance.
