2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SL10 FNY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 at 71,296 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both March 2025 and March 2026, the car failed the test only to pass moments later at the exact same mileage interval. This suggests that the owner is reactive, addressing faults only when necessitated by a legal failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance to catch issues before the test date. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,456 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 8,000 miles driven between 2024 and 2025, and another 7,000 miles between 2025 and early 2026. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such intervals often lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts, such as seals, and brake lines, which age over time regardless of the distance travelled. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and suspension components. Since the record shows no recorded advisories over the last three years, there may be hidden corrosion developing on the sills or floor pans that is common on Fiestas of this era. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check for binding calipers, as low-use vehicles often cause components to seize or perish prematurely. Given the repeated failures without recorded defects, verify that basic service items like light bulbs, wiper blades, and tyre depths are sufficient to ensure the vehicle has been properly maintained between the annual inspections.
