2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · UN56 ORN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 August 2025 at 147,901 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests the previous owner addressed a specific issue immediately to secure compliance, and the subsequent clean sheets back to 2022 indicate a period of reliable mechanical upkeep regarding basic safety standards. At 147,901 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,244 miles per year since its registration, which aligns with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows steady progression, with 11,076 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and another 7,416 miles between August 2023 and 2024. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of stationary which often lead to seized components, perished seals, or brake fluid degradation. While the MOT history is clean of recurring mechanical failures, a buyer must focus on high-mileage wear common to the 16-year-old Ford platform. Inspection should prioritize the suspension system for worn bushes and control arms, as these often degrade at this mileage despite clean MOT passes. Given the age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches is also essential, as the MOT only identifies surface rot once it reaches a critical threshold. You should also verify the condition of the brake calipers and the thickness of the discs to ensure the lack of defects in the 2025 test has been maintained through proactive servicing.
