2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NA10 HGY

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a persistent failure to address suspension and rubber components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 113,853 miles passed, it returned with new advisories for an insecure rear reflector and a perished nearside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of unaddressed coil spring corrosion that was flagged in both 2024 and 2021, indicating that the owner historically deferred mechanical repairs rather than preventing them. At 113,853 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 7,116 miles per year over sixteen years, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 1,800 miles recorded between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 2,300 miles in the year prior to that. This steady usage interval suggests regular use, though the low annual mileage has not prevented age-related degradation of rubber and metal components seen in the record. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the rear suspension and braking system. The recurring corrosion advisory on the coil springs since 2021 suggests that structural failure is imminent if they are not replaced. Furthermore, the 2022 report noted corroded front brake pipes and pitted discs, necessitating a physical check for fluid leaks or significant thinning of the metal pipework. The repeated presence of perished tyres in 2021 and 2025 confirms that rubber-based components are failing due to age regardless of tread depth.
