2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · SP10 ADZ

The 2010 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-08-10 at 109,786 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior three tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, an apparent discrepancy exists: a 2023-08-08 test listed as both passed and failed at the same mileage (102,185 miles), though no defects were noted. This inconsistency warrants verification but does not immediately suggest systemic mechanical decline. The vehicle’s recent history implies reliable upkeep, with no critical failures recorded in the last three years. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging ~6,862 miles annually. A notable gap between 2022-08-08 (101,172 miles) and 2023-08-08 (102,185 miles) suggests minimal activity, potentially indicating periods of inactivity or reduced use. Subsequent increases of 2,038 miles (2023-2024) and 5,563 miles (2024-2025) reflect gradual usage, with no rapid wear patterns evident. The MOT records lack detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into minor issues like tyre tread or suspension wear, which are common in older vehicles. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and body seams, is critical to assess for rust, which can develop during periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2023-08-08 anomaly and sparse defect data mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded tests.
