2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV59 UCJ

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 109,933 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior to that, the October 2024 and October 2023 tests also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemishes are two failed tests logged on the same days as subsequent passes, both at 103,002 and 96,424 miles respectively on 30 October 2024 and 13 October 2023, yet the records show no defects cited on either failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as the vehicle passed within hours on both occasions. Recorded mileage sits at 109,933 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 6,467 miles per year which is typical for a car of this type. The journey from 96,424 miles in October 2023 to 103,004 in October 2024 added 6,580 miles, then 6,929 miles to the October 2025 figure. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The clean advisory history across all five entries indicates the previous keeper kept consumables and core systems within test limits, though the sparse failure notes without defect detail leave the exact cause of the two same-day retests undocumented. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that would normally flag wear at this mileage. The lack of corrosion or structural integrity comments in the record is reassuring for a 2009 shell, but MOT clean sheets do not capture incipient rust behind sills or subframes. Verify the reasons for the 2023 and 2024 same-day fail-and-pass cycles with the test centres, as undocumented failures can mask a rejected defect later cleared without repair. Given the consistent no-defect outcomes and ordinary mileage, the Fiesta shows no worsening mechanical trend. Prior owners appear to have maintained basic roadworthiness, though the unexplained failure entries warrant a check of the full DVSA test certificates before purchase.
