2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RV60 AEO

The most recent MOT test on 2025-10-08 confirms the vehicle passed without defects at 77,093 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of no recorded issues over the past three annual tests. Despite the duplicate pass and fail entries for 2023 and 2024—likely an administrative anomaly—the absence of advisories or repeated failures suggests the tester did not identify any recurring mechanical concerns. However, the lack of defects does not preclude underlying wear, particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers, which often fail silently before becoming MOT-critical. The recorded mileage of 77,093 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 4,800 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests spans exactly one year with no intermediate mileage progression, implying prolonged inactivity or storage during that period. Such low usage may mitigate some wear, but it also raises questions about fluid maintenance—brakes, steering, and fuel systems can degrade even when a car is stationary if fluids are neglected. The consistent annual testing interval suggests at least basic compliance with MOT requirements, though it does not guarantee proactive servicing. Given the absence of MOT-recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common failure points in this model at this mileage. Binding or unevenly worn brake calipers or discs—often flagged as advisories—could have been overlooked if the tester did not detect them during dynamic testing. Structural integrity should also be assessed, especially around wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without immediate MOT failure. The engine bay should be examined for leaks, worn drive belts, and the condition of the exhaust system, as catalytic converter failures or rusted pipes are frequent late-stage issues in this vehicle class. The low mileage does not eliminate these risks; rather, it may mean some wear is less advanced but still present.
