2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FL60 JDK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 28 January 2026 at 96,208 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no defects recorded in the most recent test. However, the MOT record contains a notable anomaly on that exact date, showing both a pass and a fail at the identical mileage with no defects listed for either. A similar data irregularity occurred in September 2023, where a pass and fail were recorded on consecutive days at virtually the same mileage. Despite these administrative quirks, the absence of recorded defects across all tests indicates the vehicle has consistently met minimum roadworthiness standards without presenting recurring mechanical or structural failures. The recorded mileage of 96,208 miles over roughly sixteen years equates to an annual average of approximately 6,013 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression reveals a distinct pattern of intermittent use. Between the September 2023 test at 93,128 miles and the January 2025 test at 94,031 miles, the vehicle covered just 903 miles over a sixteen-month period. Following this, the mileage increased by 2,177 miles to reach 96,208 miles by January 2026. This pattern suggests the Ford Fiesta spent a significant portion of 2023 and 2024 standing idle or covering very minimal distances before returning to slightly more regular use in the latter half of 2025. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary concern for a prospective buyer stems from the extended period of low mileage accumulation rather than chronic mechanical failure. Vehicles standing for long durations often suffer from deteriorated rubber components and corroded brake systems. A physical inspection must focus on the condition of the tyres, looking for sidewall cracking or flat spots from prolonged stationary contact. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers and corrosion on the disc faces, which commonly afflict cars that sit unused. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should also be checked for perishing, as these degrade naturally over time regardless of mileage.
