Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this specific Fiesta, check the tyre condition thoroughly. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyres being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges in both 2023 and 2024, which could suggest alignment issues or suspension wear. Ask the seller for evidence that any previous tyre replacements were accompanied by a wheel alignment check.
Secondly, investigate the history of the fluid leaks noted in 2021 and 2023. While the 2023 oil leak was noted as a drive shaft seal issue and the 2021 leak involved the radiator header tank, you should verify if these were repaired or if they remain ongoing. A thorough test drive to check for any new drips or smells is essential.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it relatively affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is typically decent for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on service history and maintenance.
Expect typical maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age, with particular attention needed for consumables like tyres and brake components. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, are estimated to be moderate.
Focus your inspection on the underside of the engine and the front suspension. The MOT history specifically mentions an offside oil leak (drive shaft seal) in 2023 and a radiator header tank leak in 2021; look for any fresh signs of weeping or staining in these areas.
Additionally, examine the front tyres. The recurring 'worn on edge' advisories in 2023 and 2024 suggest that the geometry of the front axle may be out of specification. Check the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate a need for new suspension components or a professional tracking service.
This 2010 blue Ford Fiesta 1.2L petrol has covered 120,987 miles as of its last MOT in January 2024. The MOT history indicates a pattern of tyre wear issues and multiple instances of fluid leaks, including oil and radiator header tank leaks. Given its age and mileage, it represents a budget-friendly entry into the hatchback market, but requires careful inspection.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.6% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
