2010 Ford Fiesta Zetec 1.2L Petrol · JD08 MCH

The 2010 Ford Fiesta Zetec presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 46,282 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Mileage sits low for a sixteen-year-old car. The record runs from 41,166 miles on 9 August 2021 to 46,282 miles on 8 September 2025, a total gain of 5,116 miles over four years, or roughly 1,279 miles per year against the age-based average of 2,893. Annual increments stay tight: 1,349 miles in 2022, 1,199 in 2023, 739 in 2024, and 1,829 in 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The sparse, clean record gives little basis to question odometer integrity, though long standing periods implied by low use warrant a physical check for perished seals and flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related degradation not caught in the pass tests. Low mileage with long idle spells accelerates rubber perishing and surface corrosion on brake calipers more than wear from driving. Verify underneath structure for rust and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the engine's limited warm-up cycles. Given the clean history, focus the viewing on consumables and hidden rot rather than mechanical failure. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking, test the handbrake for binding, and listen for suspension knock on poor surfaces. The MOT data alone supports a sound purchase, but physical verification remains prudent on a car of this age.
