Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise verifying whether the corroded coil springs, which have been flagged as advisories in 2024, 2025, and 2026, have been replaced. You should also check if the brake pipe corrosion noted in 2023 and 2024 was fully remediated or merely treated. Use the recent exhaust leak and tyre wear advisories from the January 2026 test as leverage for price negotiation.
The 1.388L petrol engine is a cost-effective choice for city and suburban driving, typically falling into a modest insurance group. Annual tax will be based on the 2010 emissions standards for this engine variant.
Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average due to the recurring corrosion issues identified in the MOT history, which may require more frequent suspension and braking system interventions than a typical Fiesta of this age.
Perform a detailed inspection of the suspension, specifically the nearside and offside rear coil springs, which have been flagged for corrosion across three consecutive years. Check the brake pipes for signs of corrosion or grease covering, as seen in the 2023 and 2024 records.
Inspect the exhaust system for the leak noted in the most recent MOT and check the tread depth and sidewall condition of all tyres. The history shows a frequent pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or perishing, which may indicate a need for a full set of replacements.
This 2010 blue Ford Fiesta 1.4L petrol has recorded 96,362 miles as of January 2026. The MOT history reveals a significant failure in 2023 involving suspension and braking components, followed by several passes that contain recurring advisories for corrosion and tyre wear. The vehicle's history reflects common age-related wear for this model, though the persistence of certain issues is a point of note.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points typically including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
