2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EY60 JXP

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness status according to its MOT history, with all tests passing without defects recorded. However, a notable inconsistency appears in the October 2025 test, where the same mileage entry shows both a pass and a fail on the same day—a discrepancy likely reflecting administrative correction or retesting rather than an actual mechanical failure. The preceding tests in October 2024 and October 2023 follow the same pattern, suggesting procedural irregularities in the testing process rather than deteriorating vehicle condition. No advisories or defects were flagged in any test, indicating no recurring mechanical issues such as suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion were identified during inspections. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging approximately 5,410 miles per year over its 16-year lifespan, which is notably low for a vehicle of this vintage. The progression from 68,248 miles in October 2023 to 76,117 miles in October 2024 reflects an increase of 7,869 miles in one year, followed by a further 10,442 miles added by October 2025, reaching 86,559. This recent acceleration in mileage, coupled with the absence of advisories, suggests the vehicle has either been well-maintained during periods of limited use or may have experienced increased utilisation in its later years. The data is sparse but consistent, with no significant gaps between test intervals. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on components subject to wear despite the clean MOT record. Given the low historical mileage, attention should be directed toward the condition of tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as prolonged periods of inactivity can lead to cracking. Brake components, including discs and pads, should be assessed for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly considering the recent mileage increase. Suspension elements such as coil springs and bushes warrant examination for signs of fatigue or damage. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be inspected for corrosion, especially since no structural defects were reported in recent tests. The battery and fluid levels (oil, coolant, brake fluid) should also be checked, as extended storage can compromise these systems even if mechanical components remain functional.
