2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SO60 FAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on July 15, 2025, 84,969 miles. This pass followed a failure just eight days prior, suggesting that a specific defect was rectified immediately to ensure compliance. The overall trend shows a history of clean passes with no recorded defects across several years, indicating that the mechanical and safety components have maintained a consistent standard. There is no evidence of a worsening mechanical trend or recurring structural failures in the recorded data. The mileage pattern is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 15,954 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025, which contrasts with the much lower interval of just 471 miles between November 2023 and July 2024. This suggests periods of heavy use interrupted by long spells of inactivity. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can lead to degraded rubber components, seized brake calipers, and corrosion that does not always manifest through mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related decay rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perish caused by the vehicle potentially standing stationary. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not binding due to disuse. A thorough check of the structural sills and wheel arches is essential to rule out rust, as older Ford Fiestas prone to corrosion regardless of how many miles they have driven.
