2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE59 TFX

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 29 October 2025 at 92,722 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, showing clean passes once minor pre-test failures were cleared. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any test, indicating the vehicle has not required flagged repair work during this period. Annual mileage sits low for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,454 miles per year against the recorded 92,722 miles. The DVSA data shows 75,278 miles at the October 2023 test, rising to 80,545 miles by October 2024 and 92,720 miles by October 2025. That equates to about 5,300 miles in year one and a sharper 12,175 miles in year two, suggesting lighter early use then a period of heavier commuting. The record is sparse, with only three pass cycles and two same-day failures carrying no listed defects, so the history gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. The two failures on 30 October 2024 and 29 October 2025 both show zero recorded defects, meaning the tester rejected the vehicle on administrative or unlogged grounds rather than mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and suspension bushes in person, as 17-year-old Fiestas commonly develop subframe corrosion and worn rear beam mounts unseen in a clean MOT. Check brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions during a cold start, since low annual mileage can mask binding calipers and moisture-driven rot. Given the absent advisories, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current but the same-day fail-then-pass pattern implies late or rushed test bookings rather than thorough pre-check routines. Verify service stamps against the 12,000-mile jump between 2024 and 2025, and confirm timing belt history, as Ford's interval falls due by age regardless of the low overall mileage.
