2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CV09 HBP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted in September 2023 at 143,495 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that yielded no listed faults. This suggests an administrative issue or a minor component was rectified immediately, as the car has maintained its structural and mechanical safety standards over the last several inspection cycles. At 143,495 miles over 17 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,440 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with a 18,705-mile gap recorded between March 2021 and June 2022, and another 19,491 miles between June 2022 and September 2023. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent internal engine corrosion and brake caliper seizing associated with low-use vehicles. While the MOT record is remarkably clean, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often fail at this mileage bracket regardless of a clean MOT. Given the vehicle's age, checking for developing surface rust on the sills and rear wheel arches is essential to ensure the structural integrity remains sound beyond what is visible during a standard test.
