2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV09 HCD

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 21 January 2026 at 74,758 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the last three annual test cycles. The most recent pass came on the same day as a failure logged at 74,757 miles, yet the DVSA record shows no defects recorded for either entry. This pattern repeats the previous year, where a failure on 8 January 2025 at 72,111 miles was followed by a pass on 9 January 2025 at identical mileage and again with no defects listed. The vehicle has cleared every successful test without advisories since at least January 2024. Odometer readings show 69,203 miles at the 29 January 2024 test, rising to 72,111 miles by January 2025 and 74,758 miles by January 2026. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles per year over the recorded period, well below the circa 4,400 miles per year average for the car's 17-year life. The low and consistent accumulation suggests gentle use or extended standing periods rather than hard driving. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no advisories or noted wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across the three years held. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Same-day fail-and-pass pairs with zero defects recorded point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, but they offer no assurance on hidden corrosion or fatigued components. At 17 years old, structural integrity around sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrants close checks for rust. Given the low mileage and clean history, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current enough to pass. The absence of recurring advisories implies no worsening trend in brakes, exhaust emissions, or steering. Verify the bodywork and underbody in person before purchase, as MOT entries alone do not capture standing-related degradation.
