2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · BD59 OXA

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 January 2026 at 71,909 miles with zero defects recorded. Every annual test from 2022 through 2026 has passed first time with no advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical care and no emerging faults. This is a strong record for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The mileage accumulation is notably low at roughly 4,230 miles per year, with steady incremental gains of approximately 1,500 to 1,800 miles annually between tests. The gap between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests shows 1,593 miles covered, consistent with the prior years. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious drops in recorded mileage, and the odometer progression aligns logically with the test dates. The vehicle appears to have been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and subframes, as salt exposure over seventeen years can cause hidden structural deterioration that MOT testers may not always flag on a pass. The front suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links deserve close attention, as these components degrade with age regardless of mileage. Brake discs, pads, and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no braking defects have been recorded. Tyre condition and age are worth verifying, as rubber perishes over time even with low use. The exhaust system should be examined for corrosion, especially around joints and the rear silencer. Given the clean record, this Fiesta appears to have been well maintained, but a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic remains advisable to confirm the structural integrity and mechanical condition that the MOT data alone cannot fully guarantee.
