Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
If you proceed with this purchase, you must negotiate the price downwards to account for the documented corrosion and upcoming maintenance. Prioritise an inspection of the sills and brake lines, as the May 2026 record specifically mentions both corrosion and grease covering the brake pipes, which can hide the true extent of the decay.
Request a detailed service history to see if the exhaust leaks and suspension components noted in the 2024 and 2026 tests have been properly addressed or merely patched. Given the 'excessively corroded' sill mentioned in the May 2026 failure, a professional structural inspection is highly recommended to ensure the vehicle's long-term safety.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for higher mileage efficiency, but running costs will be influenced by its age and high mileage. You should expect moderate fuel economy typical of a diesel hatchback of this era, though maintenance costs may be higher due to the age-related wear seen in the MOT history.
Insurance groups for 2010 Fiestas vary, but the diesel engine often sits in a mid-range group. Budget for more frequent repairs to suspension and exhaust components, as these have been recurring themes in this vehicle's recent MOT records.
A critical inspection point is the vehicle's underside. The May 2026 MOT failure specifically cited the offside rear sill for excessive corrosion that significantly reduced structural strength. You must check if the recent 'repair' mentioned in the 2026 pass is a permanent structural fix or a temporary measure.
Additionally, inspect the brake lines. The most recent record shows both nearside and offside front brake pipes are corroded and covered in grease. This grease can be used to mask the severity of the corrosion. Finally, check the exhaust system for leaks and the rear seat belt webbing, which was noted as damaged or frayed in the latest test.
This 2010 white Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel has covered 166,187 miles, which is considerably higher than the model average of 5,829 miles per year. While it passed its most recent MOT in May 2026, the record reveals a history of structural issues, including significant sill corrosion and brake pipe degradation. The vehicle has experienced multiple failures and advisories regarding the exhaust, suspension, and braking systems over the last three years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
