2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · SL10 VVC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the clean most recent MOT test result. The test conducted on 14 March 2026 at 130,697 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early March 2025, the immediate re-test two days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing mechanical issues to persist. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 8,169 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the vehicle covered 13,866 miles, followed by another 15,918 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This slight increase suggests the car is used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing components like brake calipers and suspension bushings from seizing or deteriorating due to the corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent three tests, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for a high-mileage Fiesta of this generation. A buyer should verify the structural integrity of the rear sills and floor pans, where rust often develops out of sight until it becomes a failure point. The condition of the rubber suspension components and the state of the shocks also warrant scrutiny, as the 130,000-mile mark represents significant stress on the drivetrain and damping systems.
