2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · GL10 AEB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 28 May 2025 at 129,822 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This specific sequence suggests a minor mechanical issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest, as the vehicle has since maintained a clean record through 2026. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,114 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the car covered 8,643 miles, showing a consistent annual usage rate of roughly 2,800 to 3,000 miles. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for maintaining components like brake seals and suspension rubberwork, as it prevents the premature corrosion and seized components often associated with long periods of inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear points for a Fiesta of this age. A buyer should examine the structural integrity of the rear subframe and sills for developing corrosion, as these are common areas of failure on this generation. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and the thickness of the brake discs warrant close scrutiny to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life despite the clean MOT history.
