2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · RF10 AEM

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 January 2025 at 47,515 miles without a single recorded defect. This consistent performance across the last five tests indicates a well-maintained example that has avoided the common trend of recurring failures. The absence of advisories during these inspections suggests that the previous owner addressed essential repairs promptly, ensuring the vehicle remained in a roadworthy condition throughout the last several years. With a total of 47,515 miles over a sixteen-year lifespan, the car averages approximately 2,970 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the provided history, showing steady, light usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The progression from 41,546 miles in July 2021 to the current figure shows a predictable accumulation of roughly 1,500 to 2,000 miles between annual tests. Such light duty typically reduces stress on the drivetrain, though it necessitates a careful check for age-related degradation of rubber components and seals that may have perished despite the lack of heavy road use. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the suspension bushes, gaiters, and tyres, as these rubber elements often deteriorate due to age rather than mileage. While the MOT history is exemplary, the age of the vehicle warrants a thorough check for surface corrosion on the subframe and brake lines, which may not always trigger a failure but can require attention. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads during a test drive to ensure they are not binding or suffering from corrosion caused by infrequent use. Confirming the timing belt replacement interval is also essential, as the age of the engine components is more critical than the low odometer reading in this instance.
