2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GD10 FMF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive consumable replacement. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 85,435 miles passed, it revealed thin front brake pads and discoloured rear direction indicators. This follows a clean pass in April 2025 after a minor failure for headlamp aim adjustment, suggesting that the vehicle is entering a phase where routine wear items require attention despite its age. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,340 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2026, the car covered only 8,771 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of being stationary. While low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and engine internal components, it can often accelerate the degradation of rubber-based parts and lead to corrosion in braking systems, which aligns with the thinning brake pads noted in the latest entry. A buyer must inspect the rear road wheels and suspension geometry specifically. The records from 2023 and 2024 flagged distortions and buckles on both the nearside and offside rear wheels, suggesting the vehicle has encountered significant impacts or deep potholes. These physical stresses can cause uneven tyre wear or premature suspension bushing failure that is not immediately visible. Additionally, the low annual mileage warrants a close check for brake caliper seizing and seized components, as vehicles that sit frequently are prone to surface rust on the discs discs.
