Our Verdict
This is a highly recommended example due
The primary focus for a buyer should be the recent suspension-related issues. The February 2026 MOT noted corroded rear coil springs and a deteriorated nearside front suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Ensure these specific items have been replaced and that the work was carried out to a professional standard.
Given the low mileage, you should also check for 'age-related' wear that doesn't show up on an MOT, such as perished rubber seals or tyre sidewall cracking. Ask the seller for any evidence of recent maintenance, particularly regarding the suspension and braking systems, to complement the MOT data.
With a 1.4L petrol engine, this Fiesta is designed for economy. It typically sits in a moderate insurance group and a relatively low tax band, making it affordable for newer drivers or those on a budget.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for the periodic replacement of suspension components like the coil springs noted in the recent MOT. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and basic servicing, are estimated to be relatively low.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle closely, specifically looking for signs of corrosion on the rear coil springs, as this was a recorded failure in 2026. Check that the suspension arm ball joint dust cover has been replaced and that there is no play in the front suspension.
Additionally, verify the condition of the windscreen wipers. Although the 2023 failure for ineffective wiping was resolved, it is worth checking that the blades and the wiper motor function smoothly without streaking. Finally, check the tyres for adequate tread and age, as low-mileage cars can sometimes sit for long periods, leading to rubber hardening.
This 2009 Ford Fiesta presents with just 35,687 miles on the clock, which is significantly lower than the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows a consistent pass record, with only two recorded failures since 2022. While the most recent test in February 2026 identified issues with coil springs and a ball joint dust cover, the vehicle has spent much of its life without recorded defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
