2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MA60 ORY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift towards developing mechanical wear in aging components. While the most recent test in April 2025 at 73,634 miles passed, the tester flagged a noisy nearside rear wheel bearing. This follows a progression of mechanical issues noted in previous years, suggesting that while the car is being maintained to pass, components are now reaching the end of their effective service life. At 16 years old with 73,634 miles, this Fiesta has covered significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2022 and 2023, where the vehicle covered only 1,304 miles, followed by a more active period of 21,325 miles between April 2023 and 2025. This low-frequency usage often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and tyres, which is evident in the recurring issues found in the record. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the steering column, as play and roughness were documented in both 2022 and 2024. The suspension system also requires close scrutiny; the history shows worn lower arm bushes and corroded coil springs dating back to 2022. You should verify if these were ever replaced or if the corrosion has progressed toward the structural mounting. Additionally, the repeated reports of perishing and cracking tyres in 2021 and 2022 indicate the vehicle likely sat for long periods, making the current condition of all rubber a critical concern despite the low mileage.
