Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low mileage, the primary focus should be on 'age-related' rather than 'wear-and-tear' issues. Check the service history to ensure oil and filters were changed at regular intervals even when the car wasn't being driven extensively, as stagnant oil can lead to internal sludge.
Negotiate based on the recent advisories. The 2026 MOT flagged worn rear suspension arm pins or bushes, and previous records mentioned a steering column universal joint with play. These are typical for a 16-year-old vehicle regardless of mileage and will eventually require replacement.
The 1388cc petrol engine is known for a balance of efficiency and reliability. You can expect reasonable fuel economy for a city car, and it typically falls into a modest insurance group, making it affordable for new drivers or commuters.
Maintenance costs for the Fiesta are generally low due to the abundance of parts available in the UK. However, budget for the replacement of rubber components and bushings which are now showing wear in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs, including tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are likely to be around £900-£1,200.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering. The MOT history specifically notes a worn rear suspension arm pin/bush in July 2026 and a steering column universal joint with play in 2023; a test drive should be used to check for any unusual knocks or steering vagueness.
Inspect the headlamps, as they have been flagged in three consecutive MOT tests for having a product on the lens. While not currently a failure, this is a common issue for this model. Finally, check the tyres for cracking or 'flat spots' which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods stationary, consistent with its low annual mileage.
This silver 2010 Ford Fiesta has covered just 33,302 miles, which is significantly lower than the average for its age. The MOT history shows five tests recorded since 2023, with one failure in 2025 due to a wheel bearing and recurring advisories regarding headlamp lenses and suspension components.
The Fiesta has a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, though headlamps are a frequent point of failure across the model range.
