2010 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YC60 ACX

The 2010 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 74,283 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in October 2024 and October 2023 also closed with passes and no advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. The recorded mileage of 74,283 against a 16-year lifespan equates to a low average of roughly 4,643 miles per year. The DVSA data shows gentle accumulation: 69,601 miles at the October 2023 failure, 69,602 at the same-day pass, 71,177 at the October 2024 retest, and 74,283 by October 2025. Such low, consistent use suggests light running but also potential for prolonged standing periods. The history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions faults ever flagged. The October 2024 and October 2023 entries each show an initial failure followed immediately by a pass at near-identical mileages, with the record citing no defects on either side. This pattern implies administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults requiring rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity, coil springs, and binding calipers, as low-mileage Fiestas of this era can conceal dormant rust or perished rubber where infrequent movement masks wear. Given the absence of advisories across five years of tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles without recorded defects warrant a check of the vehicle's physical V5C and test certificates to confirm no omitted fault data.
