2009 Ford Fiesta Style 1.2L Petrol · BB58 OYD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 58,881 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2025-09-02 at 58,810 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects being logged, suggesting potential procedural inconsistencies or minor issues resolved between tests. The 2024-09-17 pass at 52,029 miles and 2023-08-25 pass at 46,919 miles also showed no defects, confirming a pattern of compliance without significant mechanical failures. Overall, the car appears well-maintained, but the repeated fails without recorded issues warrant scrutiny of the owner’s repair history. The vehicle’s mileage of 58,881 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 3,464 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation, which may lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation. Notably, the 2024-09-07 fail at 51,981 miles occurred just 10 miles before the subsequent pass on 2024-09-17, raising questions about the consistency of testing or potential temporary faults. The sparse defect data suggests no major structural or mechanical risks, but the low mileage warrants closer inspection of systems prone to inactivity, such as the battery, steering, and suspension. A buyer should prioritize checking the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask gradual wear. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be assessed for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has been parked for extended periods. Exhaust emissions and corrosion on underbody components are also critical, given the lack of high-mileage wear patterns. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the combination of low mileage and recent fails without defects necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
