2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FD10 MXR

The roadworthiness status of this Ford Fiesta is strong, supported by a remarkably clean recent maintenance trend that shows consistent compliance with UK standards. In the May 2025 test at approximately 106,929 miles, the vehicle passed with zero defects recorded, mirroring clean passes from May 2024 and June 2023. A minor administrative hiccup occurred on May 30, 2024, when the vehicle initially failed a test before securing a clear pass the following day without any recorded faults, pointing towards a procedural re-test rather than a severe mechanical failure. Accumulating 106,929 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan translates to an average of roughly 6,683 miles annually, placing this Fiesta squarely in the typical bracket for private UK use. The mileage progression appears steady across the provided history, though the data set provided begins in June 2022 when the vehicle was already twelve years old, leaving earlier structural and mechanical chapters unrecorded. No erratic jumps or prolonged periods of statutory dormancy appear in the available DVSA records, implying the car has remained in regular, light commission. Prospective buyers must still look beyond the pristine advisory-free certificates and perform a rigorous physical inspection of components naturally prone to fatigue on a sixteen-year-old hatchback. Pay close attention to the structural integrity of the inner sills, wheel arches, and subframes, as corrosion is common on older Fiesta platforms regardless of clean MOT history sheets. Inspect the rubber suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for surface degradation and natural wear that may have escaped tester notes or developed since the last inspection in May 2025.
