Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-mileage, economical small car. The recent MOT history shows a consistent pass record without recorded defects in the last three years.
Given the high mileage of 129,094 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure regular oil changes and component replacements have occurred. While the MOT history is clean of defects, an MOT is not a substitute for a mechanical inspection of wear-and-tear items like timing belts, water pumps, and suspension bushings.
When negotiating, consider the high mileage against the market value. Ask the seller for proof of recent maintenance on consumables, such as brakes and tyres, as these are common areas for expenditure on a vehicle of this age and usage level.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it relatively inexpensive to run in terms of fuel economy. Being a 2010 model, the tax band and insurance group are likely to be in the lower-to-mid brackets, which is ideal for budget-conscious drivers.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are typically manageable due to the wide availability of parts. However, with mileage exceeding 129,000, you should budget for more frequent replacements of items like suspension components or exhaust sections, which are noted as common failure points for this model type.
Although the recent MOT history shows no defects, you should pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and tyre condition. These are the top failure reasons for the Ford Fiesta model aggregate data and are common areas where wear becomes apparent.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of leaks and check the underside of the car for corrosion. Given the vehicle's age, it is also prudent to check the condition of the brake discs and pads, as well as the overall integrity of the suspension, to ensure it meets the standards seen in its recent clean MOT results.
This 2010 Ford Fiesta features a 1.24L petrol engine and has covered 129,094 miles as of February 2026. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,839 miles per year, the vehicle has passed its last three MOT tests without any recorded defects. The black exterior and small engine displacement suggest a vehicle geared towards urban commuting and lower running costs.
The Ford Fiesta shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate across the 1.5 million vehicles analysed, with common failures relating to lighting, exhaust, and tyres.
