2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LT10 LWM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 9 July 2026 at 46,455 miles with no defects recorded. The overall maintenance trend is stable, as the car has consistently passed its inspections over the last several years. While the history shows intermittent failures related to consumable items, the absence of recurring structural or mechanical faults suggests the vehicle has been fundamentally sound throughout its life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the record, moving from 15,227 miles in March 2015 to 46,455 miles in 2026. However, such low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from use. The record confirms this trend through multiple instances where tyres failed due to perishing, cracking, or structural damage rather than high distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the tyres, as the history shows a persistent pattern of perishing and damage. The 2024 test flagged cracking and perishing on multiple tyres, while previous failures in 2018 and 2022 highlighted structural tears and exposed cords. Because the car sits for long periods, inspect the sidewalls for dry rot and ensure the rubber remains supple despite the low overall tread depth. Additionally, the low mileage warrants a check of brake disc corrosion and seized caliper pins, which commonly occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
