Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Focus your attention on the service history to ensure the engine has been serviced regularly despite the low annual mileage. Verify that the front brake discs and offside rear tyre, which caused a failure in December 2025, were replaced with quality parts rather than just patched.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle and any upcoming maintenance requirements. Ensure the hazard warning switch and windscreen washer system, both noted in 2023, are functioning perfectly, as these are simple but essential safety requirements.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Insurance costs for this model are typically low, and the tax band for a 2009 1.25L Fiesta is generally affordable for most buyers.
Maintenance costs are expected to be moderate, though you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items like tyres and brake pads. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Carefully inspect the tyres, specifically the offside rear, as this area has appeared in MOT records in both 2024 and 2025. Check the condition of the front brake discs to ensure the pitting and scoring noted in the December 2025 test has been fully addressed.
Given the 2023 failure of the nearside front track rod end, have a mechanic check the steering and suspension for any further play. Additionally, check the headlamps, exhaust, and coil springs, as these are the most common failure points across the wider Ford Fiesta population based on aggregate data.
This blue 2009 Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1.2L petrol engine and has recorded 58,500 miles as of December 2025. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of usage with some failures related to brakes, tyres, and minor electrical components. Given its age, the mileage is notably low compared to model averages.
The Ford Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with the most frequent failures occurring in the headlamps, exhaust systems, and coil springs.
