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 has a concerning recent MOT history, with two failures in the last 12 months. The most recent test in December 2025 showed a fractured nearside front coil spring and binding rear brakes, both serious safety issues. These failures were preceded by similar problems in 2024, including corroded rear coil springs and an exhaust leak. The recurring pattern shows worsening suspension and brake conditions. Rusty springs, worn tyres, and deteriorating brake discs indicate long-term neglect or under-use. The vehicle’s low annual mileage of around 5,451 miles suggests it may have spent long periods stationary, which can cause rubber components like tyres and bushings to degrade faster than normal use. The condition trend is clearly worsening. Issues such as fractured springs, binding brakes, and perishing tyres point to increasing mechanical deterioration. While some faults may be age-related, others suggest a lack of regular maintenance or prolonged storage. The low mileage does not necessarily mean less wear.
