2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SY10 OCK

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition following its most recent MOT pass on 18 March 2026 at 94,224 miles. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, despite a technical failure recorded two weeks prior on 4 March 2026 at 93,796 miles. The fact that no defects were listed for that failed test suggests a potential administrative error or a minor non-testable issue that was rectified immediately without indicating a pattern of systemic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a sixteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,889 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 17,339 miles, indicating consistent but relatively short-distance usage rather than high-stress long-distance transit. This low-mile accumulation typically reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles are often prone to age-related degradation of materials that remain stationary for long periods. Because the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories, physical inspection should focus on the rubber components and fluid systems that suffer from age rather than distance. A buyer must check for perished suspension bushes, cracked sidewalls, and leaking seals, which are common on older Fiestas regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to seized calipers or rusted rotors. The structural integrity of the sills and wing arches also requires close scrutiny to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis despite the low mileage figure.
