2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · TY06 ART

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent history of passes over the last three years. Following a failure in November 2022, the car has maintained a perfect record, passing its last three annual MOT tests with no recorded defects. This clean streak through to the most recent test in November 2025 indicates that the previous owner addressed any initial issues and maintained the vehicle to a passing standard. The mileage pattern remains consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There is a notable increase in usage between November 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered over 20,000 miles in twelve months. However, the usage moderated back down to roughly 18,000 miles in the following year leading up to the latest test. The total distance of 143,659 miles is typical for a sixteen-year-old Ford, and the regular intervals suggest the vehicle has not suffered from neglect. Despite the clean MOT advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for a Fiesta of this era. Given the mileage, check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as these often develop before they become an MOT failure. Also examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as high-mileage cycles can degrade rubber components. Since the record does not flag brake issues, verify the thickness of the discs and the condition of the calipers to ensure there is no hidden binding or thinning beyond what the tester observed.
