2009 FORD FIESTA ZETEC S 90 TDCI1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent test on 20 February 2024 at 134,379 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test four days prior on 16 February 2024, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a minor administrative error or a quick rectification of a trivial fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age. It covered 4,898 miles between the January 2022 test at 124,988 miles and the February 2023 test at 129,481 miles. A similar trend continued into 2024, with 4,898 miles added over the following year. This steady usage suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of seized calipers or perished seals. The MOT history is exceptionally clean for a 17 year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake wear across the last four tests. This lack of data is unusual for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage and implies either a rigorous preventative maintenance regime or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear arches, as the MOT record provides no insight into the chassis condition. Given the 134,379 mile odometer reading, a manual check of the clutch bite point and the condition of the timing belt replacement interval is necessary to ensure the drivetrain remains reliable.
