2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · S31 UEH

The December2025 MOT at 102,600 miles confirmed the 2010 Ford Fiesta is roadworthy, with the tester recording zero defects. All previous tests from 2016 onward show a consistent pass rate, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. The mileage has risen from 31,822 miles in March 2016 to 102,600 miles by December 2025, an increase of roughly 70,800 miles over nine years, averaging about 7,860 miles per year. No large gaps appear in the record, and the incremental rise matches the typical usage pattern for a vehicle of this age. The steady accumulation suggests regular driving rather than long periods of standing. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and examine the brake discs for scoring or corrosion. The 2016 test noted the near‑side and off‑side rear tyres were close to the legal limit, so current tread depth must be measured. Inspect the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion that could affect structural integrity. Check the exhaust system for rust or leaks, as the MOT history shows no emissions failures but does not guarantee absence of corrosion. While the car has passed every test with no defects, the absence of recorded advisories does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection of these critical components. A thorough on‑site assessment will confirm whether the recorded tyre wear, if any, reflects ongoing neglect or simply normal consumption.
