2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CU09 TKN

The 2009 Ford Fiesta exhibits a stable and improving mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 23 June 2025 at 115,499 miles. The maintenance trajectory remains highly consistent, with no defects recorded across the majority of its recent history. The lone anomaly occurred on 21 June 2024, when the vehicle failed at 110,576 miles despite the record showing no specific defects. This suggests an administrative issue or an instantly rectified minor fault, as the car passed a retest on the same day with zero defects. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,794 miles per year, which is typical for a 17-year-old supermini. The annual increments demonstrate steady, light usage rather than prolonged standing or high-mileage abuse. Between the July 2022 test at 105,564 miles and the June 2023 test at 107,869 miles, the car covered 2,305 miles. The subsequent year saw a slightly higher accumulation of 2,707 miles, reaching 110,576 miles by June 2024. The most recent year shows a further increase of 4,923 miles, bringing the total to 115,499 miles by June 2025. Despite the absence of recorded advisories, a 17-year-old Ford Fiesta requires a thorough physical inspection of its structural integrity and consumable components. Buyers should closely examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for age-related deterioration, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for rust, particularly given the historically low annual mileage which can cause internal moisture buildup and premature degradation. The 2024 failure with no recorded defects justifies verifying the structural condition of the sills and floor pans, ensuring no undisclosed corrosion or accident repair compromises the vehicle's integrity. Tyre condition and age should also be verified, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perishing rather than tread wear.
