Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Ford Fiesta is worsening, driven by persistent structural corrosion and recurring steering wear. The most recent test on 2025-12-01 at 107,388 miles resulted in a pass, yet the tester flagged a corroded front sub-frame and slightly corroded rear outer sills. These structural advisories indicate ongoing deterioration rather than a one-off issue. Passing the December 2024 test followed a significant failure, but the underlying corrosion persists, suggesting the previous owner applied temporary fixes rather than comprehensive repairs. Covering roughly 6,712 miles per year, the mileage pattern is typical for a 16-year-old vehicle. Recorded intervals show consistent accumulation from 89,363 miles in November 2022, to 94,026 miles in November 2023, and 101,884 miles in December 2024. This steady progression implies regular use without prolonged periods standing or sudden high-mileage spikes. Lower annual mileage has likely preserved some mechanical components, though it has not prevented the progressive corrosion now evident in the structure. Inspect the rear sills and sub-frame closely. The tester found both rear sills holed in November 2024, and the December 2025 test still noted corrosion in the rear outer sills and front sub-frame. Patch repairs might have masked the severe corrosion that caused the 2024 failure, meaning structural integrity could be compromised. Suspension and steering components demand equal scrutiny. The tester flagged excessive play in the offside front track rod end and slight play in the lower suspension arm ball joints across both late 2024 tests. Check the condition of the front brake pads, which were wearing thin in November 2023, and inspect the front exhaust flexible coupling for gas leaks. Verify the nearside front tyre for edge wear and cracking, as this appeared in late 2024. Failing twice on tyres and suspension play in quick succession points to basic upkeep being skipped recently, despite the car covering a typical annual distance.
