2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PE10 ACY

The vehicle maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 November 2025 at 81,051 miles with zero defects. The single failure recorded on 13 November 2025 appears to be an administrative or testing anomaly, as the vehicle passed the following day with no repairs noted. This streak of clean passes dating back to 2022 indicates a well-maintained example that has avoided the common pitfalls of neglected maintenance or recurring component failure. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 81,051 miles reflects a modest annual usage of approximately 5,066 miles. The consistency of this accumulation, evidenced by the steady progression from 71,347 miles in November 2022 to the current figure, suggests the car has seen regular, light use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern is generally favourable for mechanical longevity, as it avoids the specific risks associated with low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for years, such as seized calipers or perished rubber seals. While the MOT history is devoid of advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components that often escape the scope of a basic test. You should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the coil springs, as these are common wear items on the Fiesta platform that can degrade regardless of low mileage. Check the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframe mounting points, which might not be flagged until they reach a critical stage. Given the age of the vehicle, ensure the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as this is a vital maintenance item that does not appear in the MOT data but is essential for the continued health of the engine.
