2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SL10 VCK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2024 at 85,249 miles with no recorded defects. The history shows a pattern of immediate rectification following failed tests performed just two days prior at 85,248 miles, though the lack of recorded defects on those failures suggests administrative errors or minor presentation technicalities rather than systemic mechanical failure. Since November 2022, the car has maintained a clean record across testing cycles. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a gap of roughly 5,600 miles between November 2022 and October 2023, and another 4,400 miles between October 2023 and October 2024. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing or fluid degradation within the braking brake lines if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension mounting, as low-mileage vehicles of this era often suffer from hidden corrosion in the rear arches and sills. Given the age, check for seized calipers or perished suspension bushes, which are common when vehicles are used infrequently. While the MOT history is clean, the condition of the tyres for cracks in the sidewalls is essential, as the age of the rubber likely exceeds its effective service life.
