2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CX09 UWK

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 156,324 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same date that listed no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly in the 4 December 2024 test at 152,783 miles and the 27 November 2023 test at 147,989 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical condition across the three-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 156,324 against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 9,196 miles per year, which is typical for a car of this class. The annual increments are modest: 4,794 miles between November 2023 and December 2024, then 3,541 miles to November 2025. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or reported wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clear test history. The same-day fail and pass on 27 November 2025 and 4 December 2024, both with no defects logged, suggest clerical rejections rather than fault findings, but confirm with the test station that no hidden corrosion or structural integrity concerns were omitted. At this mileage, front coil springs, track-rod ends, and brake disc wear merit hands-on checks even where the MOT raised nothing. Previous keepers appear to have kept basic upkeep current, given the repeated clean passes and ordinary annual mileage. The absence of recurring advisories implies consumables were renewed before each test. Treat the Fiesta as mechanically sound on paper, subject to a routine pre-purchase examination of underbody rust and drivetrain condition.
