2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WL60 EUU

This 2010 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the most recent five tests, including the January 2026 pass at 128,208 miles. The absence of advisories or failures over the past two years suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not exhibited any recurring mechanical issues that would indicate worsening structural or drivetrain concerns. However, the single failure in February 2024—despite being at the same mileage as the preceding pass—raises a minor red flag, though no specific faults were logged, which could imply a procedural oversight rather than a mechanical trend. The recorded mileage of 128,208 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 8,000 miles annually, a rate that aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing, with the most recent MOT occurring just six months ago, which is commendable for ensuring ongoing compliance. The February 2024 duplicate test at 121,705 miles—one pass followed immediately by a failure—is unusual but does not correlate with any visible pattern of neglect or accelerated wear. The lack of advisories in prior tests further supports that major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers have not been flagged as problematic. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that are not directly tested under MOT standards. The suspension, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, should be examined for excessive play or corrosion, as these components are prone to failure without visible MOT advisories. Brake discs and pads, while not failed in tests, may show uneven wear or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet or salted conditions. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust penetration, particularly around flanges and joints, as this is a common failure point in older Fiestas. Finally, the underbody and wheel arches should be scrutinised for structural corrosion, which, though not yet MOT-failing, could compromise the vehicle’s integrity over time.
