2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LG60 ENJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a clean pass on June 28, 2025, 89,674 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the period of significant mechanical neglect in early 2023. While the car previously struggled with multiple failures, the absence of any advisories in the most recent test suggests that the previous owner addressed the outstanding mechanical issues and maintained the vehicle to a functional standard recently. At 89,674 miles, this sixteen-year-old Fiesta has clocked significantly lower mileage for its age, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, with roughly 3,200 miles covered between March 2024 and June 2025, and approximately 4,700 miles between April 2023 and March 2024. This low usage often results in less wear on engine drivetrain components, though it can also lead to degradation if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer must scrutinise the steering system, as the tester flagged play in the steering rack inner joints in March 2024 at 86,428 miles. Although this was not mentioned in the 2025 test, steering components are prone to progressive wear and vibration. The braking system also requires a close look; front brake discs were significantly worn during the March 2023 failure. You should verify the current thickness of the discs and check for any uneven wear or pitting since that replacement. The history also shows a recorded oil leak in 2024 and previous exhaust emissions issues related to the manifold or silencer. While the vehicle passed its subsequent tests, an inspection of the engine bay for active weeping and a check of the exhaust system corrosion are advisable. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical check of the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common failure points for this generation of Fiesta regardless of recorded mileage.
