2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LM10 AEE

The 2010 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2026-03-31 at 97,681 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend shows stability, with no recurring issues across the last three annual tests. A single failed MOT on 2025-04-04 at 94,086 miles was noted but without recorded defects, suggesting a potential procedural error or minor non-critical failure. The absence of structural, braking, or emissions-related issues in subsequent tests indicates consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 97,681 miles over 16 years aligns with average annual usage of 6,105 miles, reflecting steady rather than rapid accumulation. Gaps between tests are regular, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity or excessive wear. The 2023-03-30 test at 86,459 miles and 2024-04-04 test at 90,336 miles show gradual progression, supporting a pattern of measured use. No anomalies in mileage spikes or drops are present, though the 2025-04-09 test at 94,087 miles followed a 2025-04-04 failure, raising questions about the timing but not the vehicle’s condition. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the car’s age. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these are common in older models. The exhaust system and body corrosion should also be checked, as these are frequent concerns for 16-year-old vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues not flagged in the recorded tests.
