2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EX10 CTZ

2010 Ford Fiesta, 95,928 mi on the clock – roughly 6 k mi a year. That is low for a 16‑year‑old, which may indicate light running or long periods of inactivity; the mileage signal is therefore ambiguous as to component wear. The most recent MOT (16 Jan 2026) passed, but the off‑side front tyre was noted as worn close to the legal limit. The test a few days earlier failed on a number of front‑end items: a faulty horn repeater, split CV boots on both front drive‑shaft joints, a minor rear‑exhaust leak, front brake pads under 1.5 mm, a front‑tyre sidewall lump and the same tyre‑wear warning. The recurring pattern is clear – front CV boots have been deteriorating (recorded in 2025 and again in 2026), front tyre condition is repeatedly flagged, and brake pad wear is approaching the replacement threshold. These are typical wear points on a front‑drive car, and the repeat of the CV‑boot issue suggests the problem has not been fully remedied. Over the last two years the defect list has not expanded dramatically; no new major failures have appeared, so the overall trend is relatively stable, but the persistent front‑end wear means the vehicle will need attention soon. Given the low mileage, the car may have been gently used, but the repeated front‑drivetrain and tyre defects hint at localized wear that could accelerate if the underlying causes are not addressed. Key checks for a buyer: - Inspect both front tyres for tread depth, sidewall condition and the reported lump on the nearside front tyre. - Examine the CV boots and joints for grease leakage or damage.
