2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EY60 WEC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 13 January 2026 at 157,302 miles. The maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rectification followed by clean passes. In both January 2025 and January 2026, the car failed the test just days before a successful result, though no specific defects were logged in the digital history provided. This suggests the owner likely addresses compliance items and minor faults only when prompted by a testing failure rather than following a proactive preventative maintenance schedule. AtAt 16 years old, the recorded 157,302 miles represent an average usage of approximately 9,831 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a small hatchback. The data shows consistent usage, with 8,242 miles covered between the December 2023 and January 2025 tests, and another 6,352 miles between January 2025 and January 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary use which helps preserve the integrity of rubber components and seals, though the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain and suspension geometry. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on high-wear areas that typically fail on Fiestas of this age. Given the mileage, check for play in the control arm bushes and leaks from the coil springs, as these are common points of mechanical fatigue. You must inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and rear subframe, where rust often begins to manifest after sixteen years. While the recent MOT records are clean of defects, a close look at the brake calipers for binding and the thickness of the discs is necessary to ensure the system is not nearing the end of its operational life.
