2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CP59 CTK

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a maintenance trend that appears stable despite its age. The most recent test in November 2025 at 43,396 miles resulted in a pass, although the tester flagged thin front brake pads. This indicates a standard consumable wear item rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Prior to this, the vehicle maintained a clean record for several years, suggesting that the primary mechanical components have not been under significant stress during its recent operational history. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 43,396 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 2,553 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, for example, roughly 6,000 miles driven between the October 2022 and November 2025 tests. This low-frequency use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. However, long periods of relative inactivity can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or the seizing of brake parts, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. Given the low mileage and the advisory on thin front pads in 2025, it is necessary to check the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these-age Ford components are prone to structural corrosion regardless of the miles driven. The failure in 2024 regarding the nearside dipped headlamp was resolved quickly, but a manual check of the entire lighting circuit ensures no further electrical faults remain.
