Our Verdict
A sensible option for those seeking a high-mileage Ford Fiesta with a relatively clean recent MOT history. Proceed with caution regarding the high mileage, but the recent pass suggests it is currently roadworthy.
Given the vehicle has surpassed 100,000 miles, your primary focus should be on verifying the service history to ensure regular oil changes and component replacements have occurred. While the MOT records show no defects in the most recent tests, high-mileage petrol engines like this 1242cc unit require careful checking of timing belts and water pumps if they haven't been replaced recently.
Negotiate based on the mileage; 101,021 miles is significant for a 2010 vehicle. Check for any signs of suspension wear or exhaust corrosion, as these are common areas for issues in older Fiestas, even if they haven't triggered an MOT failure on this specific unit yet.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is typically moderate, suitable for small-capacity petrol hatchbacks.
Maintenance costs for a Fiesta of this age are generally predictable, though at 100,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and suspension components. The estimated annual running cost is approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Inspect the tyres and headlamps closely, as these are the top failure reasons for this model across the aggregate data of 1.5 million vehicles. Even though this specific vehicle had no defects in its 2025 MOT, these are common points of failure for the Fiesta range.
Check the exhaust system for signs of corrosion and ensure the headlamps are clear and functional. Additionally, because the mileage is over 100,000, listen for any unusual engine noise or vibrations that could indicate wear in the engine or drivetrain that an MOT test might not fully capture.
This 2010 blue Ford Fiesta 1.2L petrol has covered 101,021 miles since its first registration in March 2010. The MOT history shows five recorded tests, with the most recent passing in October 2025. While the vehicle has reached the six-figure mileage mark, the recent records show no recorded defects at the time of passing.
Aggregate data from over 1.5 million vehicles shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate for this model, with headlamps, exhausts, and tyres being the most frequent failure points.
