2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WP60 AEE

The vehicle failed the most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑18 at 85,533 miles, recording a non‑functional windscreen washer, a dipped headlamp fault, and the same brake disc and pad wear noted in the concurrent pass entry. The brake condition has deteriorated from the thin pads and pitted discs recorded in 2019‑12 and 2022‑06 to the current warnings, indicating a worsening trend in that system. The recent dual entries suggest an attempt to rectify the failures, yet the underlying wear patterns show no clear improvement. Mileage accumulation over the car’s 16‑year life totals 85,533 miles, averaging roughly 5,350 miles per year—a low rate for a 2010 model. The log reveals long dormant periods, such as the minimal rise between 2014 (8,477 miles) and 2015 (10,765 miles) and the extended gap from 2016 (13,884 miles) to 2020 (30,939 miles). A sharper increase occurred between 2020 and 2022 (+26,248 miles), followed by a steadier climb to the present. This pattern points to intermittent use rather than continuous high‑intensity running. A buyer should inspect the front brake discs for scoring and measure pad thickness, confirming they meet the minimum thickness specification. The front wheels have been repeatedly flagged for distortion; suspension bushes, wheel bearing play, and alignment should be checked for wear. Tyre condition is critical—front tyres showed ply exposure in 2023 and rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit; tread depth and edge wear must be verified across all four tyres. The washer system and dipped headlamp circuits need functional testing, and the rear fog lamp lens should be examined for clarity. Finally, a thorough visual check for corrosion on wheel rims and underbody panels is advisable given the vehicle’s age.
