2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP10 VRX

The Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent test on 19 December 2023 at 163,383 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable in the latest entry, though the history shows a cluster of earlier failures that resolved without recorded defects being carried forward. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 10,200 miles per year across its life. The records show 156,573 miles on 28 October 2022, 156,877 miles on 25 November 2022, and 156,986 miles across two tests on 4 January 2023, before reaching 163,383 miles by December 2023. This reflects a slow build of under 7,000 miles across fourteen months, with no abrupt accumulation or unexplained gaps in the supplied data. The four failed tests between October 2022 and January 2023 all list no defects recorded, which suggests administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA log rather than confirmed mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions, as the absence of advisories does not confirm the condition of these components at 163,383 miles. Given the vehicle is sixteen years old, corrosion on sills and subframes plus wear in consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades warrant direct verification. The clean December 2023 pass offers reassurance, but the prior failure cluster means a physical check of binding calipers and coil springs remains prudent before purchase.
