2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LR60 XCL

A consistent track record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, characterized by three consecutive MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. This trend of stability culminated in the most recent clean pass on 1 December 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA requirements without requiring remedial work over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 85,454 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 5,341 miles per year over its sixteen-year lifespan. Such a low annual accumulation typically results in reduced wear on the engine internals and drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy wear associated with long-distance commuting or intensive urban use. Given the absence of flagged components in the official history, the physical inspection should focus on verifying that the current condition matches the clean DVSA record. A test drive should be used to confirm the absence of knocks or clunks from the suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points for this model despite low mileage. Ensure there is no steering pull or vibration through the steering rack, and verify that the brake pedal feel is firm and consistent without any judder during deceleration. Attention should be paid to the underside of the vehicle to ensure no new corrosion has developed since the last inspection, specifically around the subframe and brake pipes. While the MOT history shows no oil misting or leaks, a visual check of the engine bay for fresh seepage is advised to confirm the continued integrity of the seals. Checking for smooth gear transitions and a lack of clutch slip will complete the mechanical evaluation of this low-mileage example.
