2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EN10 FSA

The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is typically decent for a small petrol engine, though actual figures will depend on driving style and maintenance.

Maintenance costs for this model tend to be moderate, but you should budget for frequent replacements of consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components (such as drop links), which have appeared in this vehicle's MOT history. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.

Pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history for this vehicle specifically mentions worn anti-roll bar linkages (drop links) and suspension arm ball joints. A test drive to listen for knocks or knocks from the steering—as noted in the 2023 record—is essential.

Check the condition of the rear coil springs for signs of corrosion, as this was an advisory in 2023. Additionally, inspect the front tyres for uneven wear patterns, specifically on the inner edges, to ensure the steering and alignment are correct. Finally, check the rear seat belt webbing, as damage was flagged in both 2022 and 2023.
