2010 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YE60 NPD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its latest test in December 2025 at 136,149 miles, this followed a failure just two days prior due to multiple defects including lighting, wipers, and suspension components. The recurring nature of mechanical failures suggests that faults are only being addressed when necessary to pass the way test, which may mask the true condition of the vehicle's wear items. At 136,149 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a car of this age. The data shows a steady mileageulation, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,800 miles between August 2024 and December 2025. This consistent use explains the gradual wear observed on consumables such as tyres and suspension bushes throughout the record. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and wheels, as the history shows persistent issues with distorted road wheels across all corners since at least 2023. The offside front suspension arm ball joint was noted as excessively worn in late 2025, and track rod ends showed significant play in 2024. Additionally, the report of corrosion on the offside front lower suspension arm in 2023 necessitates a thorough physical inspection to ensure structural integrity has not degraded beyond acceptable limits. Immediate attention is also required for the tyre condition, as the 2025 failure noted different tyre sizes being fitted on the same axle, which is a safetyion affecting handling. Given the history of failures regarding wipers, washer systems, and lighting, the buyer should verify that all electrical and external components are currently functioning correctly and that the undertray is securely fastened, as previously flagged as a risk.
