FORD FIESTA2009 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted in June 2025 at 79,280 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This trend suggests the previous owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical failures over the last several years. The mileage pattern is notably low for a vehicle from 2009, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 68,005 miles and June 2025 at 79,280 miles, the car covered 11,275 miles over three years. This low usage rate typically means less wear on the engine and drivetrain components compared to high-mileage counterparts. While low mileage often implies a harsher environment, it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based components that dry out over time rather than through friction. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on areas susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer should check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished suspension bushes, which often become brittle regardless of mileage. Given the age of the Fiesta, a thorough check of the sills, wheel arches, and floor pans is essential, as MOT tests only detect structural corrosion once it becomes significant. The brakes should also be inspected for seized calipers or pitting, which can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods.
