2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE09 ACZ

The 2009 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT test on 2026-01-09 confirms it remains roadworthy at 103,985 miles, with no defects recorded across the last five annual tests. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for the 2024-11-20 test—one marked as failed and the other as passed—raises minor procedural concern. No recurring faults appear in the record, and the absence of advisories implies no deferred issues were carried forward. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions and structural checks remains consistent, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear on high-mileage components. The recorded mileage progression of roughly 6,117 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The gap between tests is standard, and the final 103,985 miles places it at 17 years old, well within the expected lifespan for a Fiesta. The absence of pre-MOT servicing records means no direct correlation to maintenance intervals can be drawn, but the steady mileage suggests regular driving rather than neglect or prolonged storage. A buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Binding brakes or uneven wear on discs could indicate past neglect, despite the MOT’s clean record. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are critical for structural integrity. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for leaks or excessive rust, especially if the vehicle has been driven in wet conditions. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, should be verified independently, as tread depth can degrade unevenly. No advisories mean no deferred issues, but a thorough check of fluid levels—brakes, power steering, and coolant—is advisable to confirm no silent failures have occurred.
