2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · NA10 AHG

The most recent MOT on 15 November 2024 recorded a pass at 70,234 miles with no defects noted. The preceding test on 14 November 2024 had failed, yet the vehicle passed the following day at the identical mileage, indicating a rapid corrective action or an administrative correction. The history from November 2022 through November 2024 shows consistent passes with no recurring defects, suggesting a stable to improving maintenance pattern. Between November 2022 (64,927 miles) and November 2023 (67,543 miles) the vehicle added 2,616 miles, and from November 2023 to November 2024 the increase was 2,691 miles. This equates to roughly 4,400 miles per year, which is low for a 2010 model. The short interval between the failed and passed tests on consecutive days at the same mileage points to a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. Overall the mileage accumulation is steady and modest, reflecting light usage or extended periods of storage. Because the recorded MOTs show no recurring faults, the primary concerns for a prospective buyer are age‑related wear items rather than documented failures. A thorough visual inspection should focus on brake disc condition, pad wear, and caliper operation, as these components degrade with mileage and service intervals. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering rack bushings should be examined for corrosion or excessive play, especially given the vehicle’s age. Structural rust around wheel arches, underbody panels, and the exhaust system warrants close scrutiny; any signs of perforation or corrosion could indicate neglect. Finally, review the service history for regular oil changes and fluid top‑ups, as the low mileage does not guarantee that maintenance has been performed consistently.
