2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV59 BFE

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 68,434 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or failures beyond a same-day administrative fail on 22 August 2025 at 68,433 miles with no defects listed, immediately cleared by the pass hours later. Prior tests in August of 2022, 2023, and 2024 also returned passes with no faults noted, indicating consistent compliance with minimum statutory standards. Recorded mileage sits at 68,434 against an August 2025 test, equating to roughly 4,026 miles per year since registration. The annual increments are modest and even: 57,519 miles in August 2022, 61,727 in August 2023, 65,627 in August 2024, and 68,434 in August 2025. This low-use profile suggests light commuting or periodic standing rather than sustained motorway wear, though extended idle periods can permit corrosion or perished rubber components unseen in a pass result. The DVSA data is sparse on detail, with no advisories logged at any stage to reveal gradual consumable decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points given the vehicle's seventeen-year age and likely static intervals. Brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for lip wear or seizing, as low mileage masks rather than prevents hydraulic stagnation. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity around sills and arches need visual confirmation for rust, since the MOT record discloses none but does not certify absence beyond test date. The same-day fail and pass in August 2025 points to a clerical or presentation issue rather than mechanical defect, yet the owner's record shows disciplined annual testing. Absence of advisories across four years implies basic upkeep was maintained, but the buyer carries risk on hidden age-related degradation not captured by a no-defect pass.
