2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PE10 ACV

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-07 at 118,383 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This aligns with the prior 2024-09-18 test at 111,124 miles, also a pass. However, the 2024-09-17 failure at 111,094 miles and the 2023-09-13 failure at 102,648 miles—both without recorded defects—suggest potential transient issues that were resolved. The absence of recurring mechanical faults in the latest test indicates the vehicle is currently compliant, though the pattern of intermittent failures without detailed findings raises questions about underlying maintenance consistency. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of 7,399 miles annually, consistent with the car’s 16-year lifespan. The 2023-09-13 tests at 102,648 miles and the 2024-09-18 test at 111,124 miles reveal a 8,476-mile increase over 12 months, which is within normal parameters. The 2024-09-17 failure occurred just 30 miles prior to the subsequent pass, suggesting a possible administrative error or minor issue addressed swiftly. The MOT history lacks significant gaps, indicating regular testing, though the absence of defect details in failed tests limits insight into specific maintenance needs. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny, as recurring failures without defect notes may hint at unresolved issues. Structural corrosion and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as these are common concerns for vehicles of this vintage. While the latest MOT confirms compliance, the pattern of unexplained failures underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to verify mechanical integrity beyond recorded data.
