2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CK09 KYF

The 2009 Ford Fiesta exhibits a highly stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 19 November 2025 at 65,927 miles with zero defects recorded. A notable anomaly occurred on 4 November 2022 at 53,606 miles, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day with no defects recorded; this likely represents an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. Since that date, the car has passed three consecutive annual tests without a single advisory, demonstrating a resolving and now entirely stable mechanical condition. The mileage accumulation remains exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2022 test at 53,606 miles and the November 2025 test at 65,927 miles, the odometer advanced by just 12,321 miles, averaging roughly 4,100 miles per year. This restricted usage pattern points toward frequent short journeys or prolonged periods of inactivity rather than sustained motorway driving. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from specific wear characteristics, such as brake disc corrosion and perished rubber components, caused by incomplete warm-up cycles and standing idle. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect specific components prone to deterioration on low-mileage Fiestas. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing and corrosion, as short trips accelerate underbody rust. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, common on cars that stand for long periods. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, as the rubber ages regardless of tread depth. Scrutinize the exhaust system and structural mounting points for corrosion, ensuring the low mileage has not masked long-term storage decay. The absence of advisories suggests diligent upkeep, but age-related degradation requires a thorough physical inspection.
