2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · JE03 ANN

As a 1.6L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, likely offering better fuel economy than its petrol counterparts. You should check the specific tax band for this 2010 registration, but diesel models from this era generally fall into moderate taxation brackets.

Maintenance costs for Fiestas are typically manageable due to the vast availability of parts. However, with mileage exceeding 100,000, you should budget for potential replacements of wear-and-tear items like clutch components or turbocharger maintenance. Total estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated at £1,200-£1,500 depending on annual mileage.

While this specific vehicle has had no recorded MOT failures, the aggregate data for this Ford Fiesta model shows that headlamps, exhausts, and tyres are common failure points. Inspect the headlamp clarity and beam pattern, check the exhaust system for corrosion or mounting issues, and ensure all tyres meet legal tread depth requirements.

Additionally, because this is a high-mileage diesel, listen for any unusual knocking or whistling from the engine bay which could indicate turbocharger or injector issues. Check the underside for any signs of oil leaks or excessive corrosion that may not have been flagged in recent tests.
