2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · AY09 WWM

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 135,537 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early March 2025, the vehicle passed again just four days later after 13 miles travel, suggesting a specific minor issue that was promptly rectified rather than a long-term decline in mechanical standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 135,537 miles reflects an average annual usage of approximately 8,000 miles. This pattern is consistent with typical use for an older urban car. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 4,718 miles driven between February 2023 and March 2024, and the 6,104 miles covered in the year leading to March 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent internal component corrosion and brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to age-related degradation, despite the clean MOT history. Given the age of this Fiesta, a close look at the structural integrity around the sills and rear suspension arches is necessary, as these are common failure points for this model. The buyer should also verify the condition of suspension bushes and rubber mounts, as these parts often crack over seventeen years regardless of mileage long before they trigger a formal MOT failure.
