2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LM10 ACZ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 52,465 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging roughly 3,279 miles per year. Between 23 June 2022 at 44,779 miles and 26 June 2025 at 52,465 miles, the car covered only 7,686 miles over three years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used exclusively for short, local journeys. Low-usage vehicles often suffer from specific degradation that MOT tests may not immediately flag. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers caused by inactivity. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or perishing due to age rather than tread wear. Rubber components like suspension bushes and engine mounts can harden and crack when not regularly cycled. I recommend a thorough check of the underbody for structural corrosion, as low-mileage cars often hide rust in chassis rails if they have been stored in damp environments. Given the clean MOT history, these preventative checks are the only remaining concerns.
