FORD FIESTA2009 · 1.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 4 April 2025 at 125,551 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle met all minimum legal safety requirements. While the history shows failures immediately prior to these passes, the lack of recorded advisory notes on the passing certificates suggests that identified issues were rectified promptly before the re-tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a light-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,385 miles per year. Between April 2023 and April 2024, the car covered 9,216 miles, while a further 10,286 miles were recorded between April 2024 and April 2025. This regularity suggests consistent use rather than long periods of standing, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components. The steady accumulation of miles avoids the high-stress cycles often associated with frequent short-distance trips or periods of neglect. A physical inspection should focus on components most susceptible to age-related degradation on a Fiesta of this era. Although the history lacks specific advisories, the buyer should inspect the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear subframe mounts, and check the condition of the suspension bushes for cracks or perished rubber. Given the mileage, verifying the thickness of the brake discs and the presence of any binding calipers is also essential, as the MOT only identifies functional failures and misses gradual wear on consumable items that must be verified manually.
