2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · OE59 DHC

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 23 June 2025 at 56,345 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean record, extending consistently back to 2021, suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from recurring mechanical failures or progressive structural issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 3,522 miles per annum. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the car covered only 4,579 miles, representing a significant drop to just over 1,100 miles per year. This low usage pattern typically results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, such low mileage often indicates long periods of stationary time, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components despite the lack of mileage-related wear. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-related stress. A buyer must check for cracking in tyre sidewalls, perished suspension bushes, and aging rubber seals, as these occur when vehicles sit idle. The chassis should also be examined for early-stage corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it reaches significant thresholds. Given the low usage, verifying that the brake fluid is fresh and coolant has not absorbed excessive moisture is essential to ensure the vehicle remains reliable for daily driving.
