2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AJ09 YVL

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 24 July 2024 at 77,325 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the July 2023 cycle shows a duplicate entry for the same date and mileage of 74,344, one failed test with no defects logged followed by a pass on the same day, indicating an administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available record from July 2021 to July 2024, every completed test resulted in a pass with no advisories raised. The mileage pattern reflects light use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 57,453 miles in July 2021, rising to 69,137 by July 2022, then 74,344 by July 2023, and 77,325 by July 2024. That equates to roughly 4,500 miles per year overall, with the largest single-year jump of about 11,700 miles between mid-2021 and mid-2022. The clean sheet of no advisories across all five entries suggests either careful upkeep or, given the low annual distances, minimal mechanical stress on consumables and structure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out latent corrosion to sills, subframes, or suspension mounting points, nor worn suspension bushes or brake discs that a tester may not have flagged at the time. Low-mileage Fords of this era often sit unused for weeks, which accelerates tyre perishing, seized handbrake mechanisms, and surface rust on brake calipers. Given the 2023 duplicate failure-with-no-defects entry, verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed rectification work. Inspect the exhaust emissions system, coil springs, and steering joints in person before purchase, as the sparse history offers no evidence of recurring intervention on these components.
