Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2010 Ford Fiesta currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass dated 2 October 2025 at 159,832 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and resolving, given that the two earlier failures in February 2024 and February 2025 closed with no defects listed and the vehicle subsequently passed on re-test. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record. Recorded mileage sits at 159,832 against an age of roughly sixteen years, equating to near-average use of about 9,990 miles per year. The odometer moved from 148,234 at the November 2022 test to 157,493 by February 2024, then rose only 1,828 miles to the October 2025 pass. That slowdown suggests lighter recent running. A nine-month gap separates the November 2022 and February 2024 entries, but the clean pass and low accumulation indicate no neglected high-use period. The back-to-back fail then pass cycles in February 2024 and February 2025, both with zero defects logged, point to administrative or presentation issues at initial testing rather than worn components. The absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across the history implies the previous owners kept the chassis and running gear within test limits. Still, a car of this age and mileage warrants a physical inspection of subframe rust, suspension arm condition, and brake caliper operation. A buyer should confirm the bodywork and sills for structural integrity and check exhaust emissions under load, since the MOT record cannot reveal developing wear between tests. Given the sparse but clean history, the Fiesta presents as a low-risk used purchase provided an independent visual check finds no hidden corrosion or fluid leaks.
