Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise verifying the current state of the exhaust system and diesel particulate filter, given the emissions failure recorded in September 2025. You should check the service history to confirm if the engine oil leak noted in October 2024 was repaired and if the steering column universal joint play mentioned in 2022 and 2023 was addressed.
Negotiate the price based on the need for new front tyres and the repair of the rear exhaust mounting, both of which remained as advisories during the most recent MOT pass on October 2, 2025. Ensure any evidence of suspension work is documented, specifically regarding the coil springs.
The 1.6 diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering competitive fuel economy for its class. However, as a 2010 model, maintenance costs may rise as components like the suspension and exhaust system reach the end of their natural lifespan.
Insurance and road tax for this Fiesta variant are generally affordable, though annual costs will be impacted by the need for periodic repairs to common failure points. Total annual expenditure will vary based on the driver's insurance group and annual mileage.
Carefully inspect the front and rear coil springs for signs of heavy corrosion, as these were flagged in October 2024 and are a known common failure point for this model. Check the front tyres for wear and the rear exhaust mounting for stability, as these were highlighted in the most recent MOT tests.
Under the bonnet, look for signs of the oil leak reported in 2024. Additionally, test the steering for any looseness or play, referencing the universal joint wear noted in the 2022 and 2023 MOT records.
This black 2010 Ford Fiesta 1.6 diesel has recorded 69,206 miles, which is below the model average. The MOT history shows a recent failure in September 2025 due to exhaust emissions, tyre wear, and an exhaust mounting issue. Previous tests have highlighted recurring concerns regarding corroded coil springs and steering column wear.
The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with aggregate data showing that headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs are the most frequent failure points.
