2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ND10 CDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 103,203 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for minor lighting issues and ineffective windscreen wipers. While the current status is clean of recorded defects, the 2025 failure history indicates a period of neglect regarding safety-critical components, suggesting that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT test result. At 16 years old, the mileage of 103,203 miles represents a consistent average of approximately 6,450 miles per year, which is typical for light urban use. The data shows a steady accumulation pattern, with 16,424 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 13,648 miles covered between February 2025 and February 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the 2025 test flagged a fractured nearside coil spring and a failing offside front suspension arm ball joint. These issues, combined with the recorded free play in the steering rack from the same period, indicate that the front-end geometry is reaching the end of its service life. The 2025 failure also highlighted tyres that had reached the legal limit with exposed cords, reinforcing a history of ignoring consumable wear. Verify the current tread depth and condition of all four tyres to ensure the previous neglect has been fully rectified.
