2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MV60 PKO

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents a stable maintenance trend, consistently achieving a pass status at its most recent inspections. The latest test on 24 July 2025 at 110,805 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Curiously, the record shows a failed test on the same day and at the exact same mileage, also listing no defects. This pattern repeats the previous year, with a failure on 23 July 2024 at 104,689 miles followed immediately by a pass at 104,690 miles. Such anomalies typically point to minor, easily rectified issues like a blown bulb or an obscured number plate rather than significant mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle remains fundamentally roadworthy. The mileage accumulation aligns well with the vehicle's age, reflecting typical light usage. Between the August 2023 test at 96,309 miles and the July 2024 test at 104,689 miles, the car covered roughly 8,380 miles. The subsequent year saw a slight reduction in use, accumulating 6,115 miles to reach the 110,805 miles recorded in July 2025. This equates to an average of approximately 6,925 miles annually, which is standard for a vehicle of this age. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of standing or severe misuse. Despite the clean MOT record, a thorough physical inspection remains essential for a 16-year-old supermini. The absence of recorded advisories does not guarantee the absence of wear, so a buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often perish on older Fiestas. Brake discs and calipers require scrutiny for corrosion and binding, common issues that might not always trigger a failure but degrade performance. Structural integrity around the sills, subframes, and floor pan must be checked thoroughly for corrosion, as age-related rust can compromise safety without appearing on a standard MOT report. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, ensuring they match the low annual mileage and show no signs of uneven wear or perishing.
