2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FJ10 YTX

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 91,635 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 2022 through 2025 returning a pass and no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A failed entry appears on the same date as the final pass, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for that failure, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical concern. The recorded mileage shows light use for a sixteen-year-old car. It rose from 64,859 miles at the 16 November 2022 test to 72,281 miles by 31 October 2023, then 82,122 miles on 12 November 2024, and 91,635 miles on 10 November 2025. That equates to roughly 5,700 miles per year, well below typical averages. The gaps between tests are consistent at around twelve months, with no sudden accumulation or prolonged dormancy visible in the data. The history is sparse but entirely clean, offering no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Low-mileage vehicles of this age often sit unused for weeks at a time, which accelerates perishable component degradation such as suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and tyre sidewall cracking even when tread remains legal. The tester noted no corrosion or structural concerns, but Ford Fiestas of this generation are prone to rear axle beam rust and subframe deterioration that a visual MOT check may miss until advanced. Given the absence of recorded advisories, previous owners appear to have maintained the car to a basic passing standard. The identical mileage on the pass and fail entries of 10 November 2025 suggests a retest followed swift correction of a non-mechanical item. Prospective purchasers should verify the brake disc condition, suspension articulation, and underbody integrity in person before completion.
