2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GU60 PFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the November November 2025 test at 132,698 miles, it had failed that same test due to multiple safety defects, including a structural failure on the offside rear tyre and illegal nearside front tyre. The presence of a persistent engine oil leak and exhaust flex pipe leakage across several years suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by inspection failures rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 132,698 miles over 16 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 6,400 miles covered between November 2024 and November 2025, and over 18,000 miles between November 2023 and 2024. This regular mileage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, though the mileage accelerates the degradation of rubber components and suspension elements. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension system, specifically the corroded rear coil springs noted in 2023, as corrosion often leads to snapping in these Ford models. The recurring exhaust flex pipe leak requires monitoring to ensure the manifold is not affected, as this can eventually lead to emission failures or increased noise. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and structural bulges, the wheel alignment should be verified to ensure the vehicle is not prematurely consuming new tyres.
