2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AD59 OME

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 182,317 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual passes from October 2022 through October 2025 show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers. The single failure in the period, on 19 October 2023 at 174,730 miles, was logged with no defects recorded and the vehicle passed the very next day at 174,778 miles, indicating an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine fault. Recorded mileage sits at 182,317 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 10,700 miles per year and matching typical use for this class. The annual increments are consistent: 170,173 in October 2022, 174,778 by October 2023, 177,691 by October 2024, and 182,317 by October 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with clean sheets across all passes and no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions concerns ever flagged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and mileage, as MOT cleanliness does not confirm absence of developing rust on sills or subframes. The brake calipers, coil springs, and suspension bushes should be visually checked for binding or fatigue not yet captured by tester advisories. The October 2023 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the test station's paperwork to confirm it was a procedural matter rather than a suppressed fault. Tyres and wiper blades remain consumable items outside this record's scope and should be assessed for tread and condition at point of sale. The absence of recurring advisories suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but high-mileage Fiestas of this era commonly fatigue steering rack mounts and exhaust hangers, so these merit a workshop lift check before purchase.
