2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP10 ADU

The 2010 Ford Fiesta has a recent MOT history that shows a mixed trend of stability and worsening issues. The most recent test in May 2026 at 130,732 miles revealed play in the steering rack inner joints, corroded brake pipes, an insecure brake caliper, and underinflated tyres. While the vehicle passed the May 2026 test, it failed the May 2026 test at the same mileage, highlighting recurring issues with the steering rack, brake pipes, and tyres. This suggests ongoing maintenance needs rather than a sudden decline in condition. The May 2025 test at 121,832 miles also flagged corrosion in the sub-frame, worn suspension bushes, and deteriorated CV joints, indicating structural and suspension concerns that have persisted. The vehicle's recent MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues rather than a consistent improvement, suggesting that while some problems may have been addressed, others remain unresolved. The mileage pattern for this Fiesta is typical for its age, with an average of around 8,171 miles per year. The most recent test in May 2026 was conducted at 130,732 miles, which aligns with the expected mileage for a 16-year-old vehicle. There are no significant gaps or rapid mileage accumulations in the record, indicating consistent usage. The clean mileage data suggests that the vehicle has been maintained reasonably well, with no evidence of long periods of inactivity or neglect. The consistent mileage accumulation supports the idea that the recurring issues are due to ongoing wear and tear rather than sporadic maintenance lapses. A potential buyer should prioritize inspecting the steering rack, suspension components, and brake system. The recurring play in the steering rack inner joints and worn suspension bushes suggest ongoing suspension issues that may require attention. The corroded brake pipes and insecure brake caliper indicate potential brake system problems that could affect safety. Additionally, the sub-frame corrosion and deteriorated CV joints highlight structural and drivetrain concerns that need careful evaluation. The underinflated tyres and worn tread depths in recent tests suggest that tyre maintenance has been inconsistent. The exhaust system issues and insecure heat shield also indicate areas that may require inspection for safety and emissions compliance.
