2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP10 FJZ

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 March 2026 at 28,596 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results across the available history. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the recorded MOT cycle. Recorded mileage sits at 28,596 miles against sixteen years of age, equating to roughly 1,787 miles per year. The DVSA entries show gentle, consistent accumulation: 23,593 miles on 16 March 2023, 25,104 on 20 March 2024, 26,360 on 24 March 2025, and 28,596 on 11 March 2026. The same date in 2023 shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, a likely administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Low annual use of this nature often means prolonged standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. Standing vehicles of this age commonly suffer structural rust on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points even when MOT testers record no defects. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation rather than wear from use. Verify the brake calipers are free and not binding after storage, and confirm tyres are not cracked from low mileage yet long idle time. The clean record implies conscientious test presentation, but sparse history and low use mean in-person checks on underbody integrity remain essential before purchase.
