FORD FIESTA2009 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents in a generally roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 March 2026 at 87,292 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted on 25 March 2025 at 85,394 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the identified issues were rectified quickly rather than representing a pattern of chronic mechanical neglect. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 87,292 miles reflects a low usage profile, averaging approximately 5,135 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over the last three years, with increments of 4,000 and 5,000 miles recorded between annual tests. For instance, between April 2023 and April 2024, the vehicle covered 4,322 miles. This low-speed, low-frequency use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber seals and fluid stagnation if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, given the age of the vehicle. Low-mileage Fords from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans. Despite the clean MOT history, the age suggests inspecting suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as these degrade over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, checking the brake discs for surface pitting is de advisable, as infrequently used vehicles often develop rust spots if not driven regularly.
