2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · N2 NUF

Persistent rubber degradation and a recent emergence of braking system wear define the mechanical history of this vehicle. While it passed its latest inspection on 2025-11-24, the record shows a recurring pattern of perished rear tyres spanning from 2020 to 2023, alongside a dangerous failure in November 2024 caused by non-functional stop lamps. The current status indicates a shift in wear patterns, moving from tyre surface cracking to the pitting and scoring of the front brake discs. The recorded mileage of 58,753 miles is low for a seventeen year old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,456 miles per year. This usage profile suggests the car has experienced extended periods of inactivity or very limited operational use. Mechanically, such a pattern often results in the degradation of rubber components through age and environmental exposure rather than through operational wear, which is reflected in the multi-year history of perishing tyres. Attention should be directed toward the braking system and rear suspension during a physical inspection. The advisory regarding pitted and scored front brake discs warrants a test drive to check for pedal judder or an uneven braking feel, which can occur when discs suffer from surface corrosion. Additionally, the 2019 advisory regarding worn rear axle swivel pins and bushes should be investigated by listening for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven road surfaces or speed bumps. Verification of all external lighting is essential given the previous dangerous failure of the stop lamps. The buyer should also inspect the current state of the tyres, ensuring that the previous trend of perishing between the treads has been fully addressed with replacements. Any remaining surface cracking or hardness in the tyre sidewalls should be noted as a priority for replacement to ensure roadworthiness.
