Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to high mileage
Given the high mileage and the specific failures recorded, your primary focus should be on the suspension and steering systems. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the front suspension arm ball joint, which was noted as having 'slight play' in both 2023 and 2024. You should check if this has been fully replaced or merely addressed as an advisory.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the frequency of MOT failures. Ask for evidence of recent work regarding the rear road wheel distortion noted in 2024 and ensure all lighting systems, including indicators and stop lamps, are fully functional. A comprehensive service history check is essential to see if the 1.6L diesel engine has received the necessary maintenance for such high annual usage.
As a 1.6L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for higher mileage efficiency, though running costs will be influenced by its age and current condition. Expect moderate fuel economy suitable for motorway driving, but be mindful of potential maintenance costs associated with high-mileage diesel components.
Tax and insurance groups for a 2010 1.6 TDCi are typically mid-range. However, with 131,924 miles on the clock, you should budget for more frequent component replacements, particularly for suspension and braking systems, which have already appeared in the MOT history.
Specifically inspect the front suspension. The MOT records for 2023 and 2024 highlight a front suspension arm ball joint with 'slight play'. Ensure this component and the associated bushes have been replaced with quality parts.
Check the rear wheel for any signs of damage or improper repair, following the 'slightly distorted' rear road wheel recorded in November 2024. Additionally, test all exterior lighting, including the indicator switch and registration plate lamps, as these were frequent points of failure in the 2023 and 2024 tests. Finally, inspect the tyres for cracking or perishing, a condition noted in the 2023 MOT.
This 2010 black Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCi has covered 131,924 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. While the most recent test showed no defects, the previous two years show a pattern of failures related to suspension components, lighting, and tyres. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,790 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failures involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
