2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · AF09 GUG

The 2009 Ford Fiesta currently holds a valid roadworthiness pass from the 31 August 2024 test at 71,723 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recent record. The vehicle passed cleanly in February 2022, February 2023, and August 2024, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults that would suggest worsening condition. Recorded mileage sits at 71,723 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 4,219 miles per year. The owner added only 1,345 miles between the February 2022 test at 68,378 miles and the February 2023 test at 70,368 miles, then a further 1,355 miles to the August 2024 pass. Such low annual use implies light running, though long standing periods between trips can age rubber suspension bushes, brake caliper seals, and tyre sidewalls without showing in the test data. The August 2024 entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage as the pass, yet the DVSA record lists no defects for either. This duplicate suggests an administrative correction at the testing station rather than a mechanical rejection. Buyers should still confirm the V5C and MOT certificate match the 71,723 mileage and that no hidden retry occurred. In person, a buyer should inspect the front coil springs and lower suspension arms for corrosion or cracking from low-use damp storage, check brake discs for surface rust or binding calipers after standing, and verify exhaust emissions and structural underbody integrity. The clean history gives no warning of urgent repair, but a seventeen-year-old low-mileage Ford merits a physical check of consumables skipped through disuse.
