2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP10 VNW

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 133,300 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 30 June 2023 at 117,839 miles that was immediately re-tested and passed the same day with no defects noted, indicating an administrative or minor pre-check issue rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,300 miles, typical for a sixteen-year-old car. The records show steady accumulation: 102,736 miles in May 2022, 117,839 by June 2023, 127,587 in July 2024, and 133,300 by September 2025. No large gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse but clean history gives little evidence of neglected upkeep, though the lack of any recorded advisories across five tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and may mean worn consumables were not flagged. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related wear not captured by the tester. At 133,300 miles the original dampers and steering joints may be tired. Check underneath for corrosion to structural members and the exhaust system, as the MOT record notes none but sixteen years on UK roads invites rust. Verify the 30 June 2023 failure reason with DVSA, even though the same-day pass shows no defect. Confirm tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and emissions in person, since these consumables fall outside the clean advisory list and will need replacement soon on a high-mileage hatchback.
