2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · A9 WHN

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a highly stable and well-maintained mechanical record, culminating in a clean pass on 25 October 2025 at 134,928 miles with zero defects. Every recorded MOT test in the history returned a pass without any advisories or failures, indicating a consistent trend of mechanical health. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner addressed wear items proactively, keeping the vehicle in sound running order throughout its recent life. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage patterns over the last five years. Between October 2021 and November 2022, the car covered 12,129 miles, dropping sharply to just 635 miles in the following twelve months leading to the October 2023 test. Usage then rebounded, with 4,671 miles recorded by November 2024, followed by a significant jump of 11,010 miles in the year preceding the October 2025 test. This recent surge in annual mileage moves the car beyond the typical yearly average of roughly 7,937 miles, pointing to a period of heavier, potentially motorway-intensive use. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a 17-year-old supermini with this mileage profile. The recent high mileage accumulation warrants a close examination of the clutch, drivetrain, and suspension components, specifically looking for worn coil springs, deteriorating suspension bushes, and binding brake calipers. Tyre condition and tread depth require verification, as the increased usage accelerates consumable wear. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion and check the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as older Fiestas of this era are prone to surface rust that might not yet constitute an MOT failure but indicates long-term exposure.
