2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CE09 LKV

This 2009 Ford Fiesta has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last five tests, including the most recent pass on 2025-07-10 at 197,433 miles. The consistency of passing without advisories or failures suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a stable condition, though the lack of recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers. The final pass occurred just over a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT cycle, but buyers should verify whether the vehicle has been driven regularly since then, as extended periods without movement can accelerate corrosion and component degradation. The recorded mileage of 197,433 miles over 17 years reflects an average of approximately 11,600 miles annually, a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in the MOT schedule, though the double entry for 2024—one pass and one failure at nearly identical mileages (186,785 and 186,763)—appears anomalous and may indicate a temporary administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity are evident, which aligns with the absence of severe wear patterns in the MOT record. Given the absence of advisories or failures, the most critical areas for an in-person inspection should focus on components prone to wear at this mileage: the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which often degrade silently; the brake system, including disc thickness and caliper binding, as repeated braking cycles can lead to uneven wear; and the underbody for signs of corrosion, especially around the sills, subframe, and exhaust mounts, where moisture accumulation accelerates deterioration. The lack of MOT advisories does not rule out minor leaks or worn components, so fluid levels (brakes, power steering, coolant) and hoses should also be checked. Finally, the exhaust system warrants scrutiny for cracks or rust-through, as this is a common failure point in older Fiestas.
