2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FN60 KTC

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a stable yet anomalous picture, culminating in a pass at 156,644 miles on 3 August 2023. The vehicle consistently achieves a pass status, but the record features two failures immediately preceding successful retests in both 2022 and 2023. Curiously, these failures list no recorded defects, suggesting either administrative errors, aborted tests, or minor issues rectified before the record was finalized. Despite these irregularities, the mechanical condition appears stable, with no recurring faults or advisories flagged across the documented tests. The mileage accumulation deviates significantly from the typical annual average of roughly 9,790 miles. Between the 2021 test at 139,849 miles and the 2022 test at 147,956 miles, the car covered approximately 8,100 miles. The following year saw a similar increase of around 7,100 miles up to the August 2023 failure. A highly irregular mileage jump of 1,079 miles occurred in just two days between the 1 August 2023 failure at 155,565 miles and the 3 August 2023 pass at 156,644 miles. Such a rapid accumulation is mechanically improbable for a standard retest and raises questions about data accuracy or potential mileage discrepancies. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer must rely on a thorough physical inspection rather than documented recurring faults. Focus on the structural integrity of the sills, subframes, and suspension mounts, as corrosion often goes unremarked in sparse records. Check the condition of the coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs for wear consistent with the indicated mileage. The anomalous mileage jump warrants a close examination of the vehicle's service history and a verification of the dashboard reading against wear patterns on the brake pedal, driver's seat, and steering wheel to rule out clocking.
