2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE10 RZF

This Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT pass record with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, the most recent of which occurred just six months ago on 30 January 2026. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurrent mechanical issues that would warrant repeated testing. While this pattern indicates stable roadworthiness, the lack of any recorded faults does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the vehicle’s age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 70,638 miles over 16 years—approximately 4,400 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either minimal usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps between MOT tests, with intervals averaging around 12 months, which aligns with the legal requirement. The steady accumulation of mileage without spikes or abrupt drops further implies the vehicle has not been subjected to aggressive driving conditions or neglectful storage, though this does not rule out deferred maintenance on non-MOT-critical components. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested, such as suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit fatigue or deterioration over time. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. Corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and underbody, is a common concern for vehicles of this age and should be scrutinised for structural integrity. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions components—though passed—should be checked for leaks or excessive wear, as these are often overlooked until they fail.
