2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CY09 LLE

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a clean pass recorded on 24 April 2024 at 111,452 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the most recent test free of advisories or faults. However, the history shows two failed tests on the same dates as passes, specifically 24 April 2024 and 8 October 2021, both at identical mileages with no defects logged. This pattern suggests administrative re-tests or documentation errors rather than mechanical failure, though the buyer should confirm the V5C and DVSA entry detail. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 17-year-old vehicle. The record shows 100,238 miles on 8 October 2021 rising to 110,034 miles by 10 October 2022, then 111,452 miles at the April 2024 test. That equates to roughly 6,500 miles per year overall, with a near-static 1,418 miles added between October 2022 and April 2024. The sparse record, only five entries across three years, gives limited visibility of consumable wear but shows no flagged tyre, brake, or suspension issues. No advisories for corrosion, brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes appear in any test. The absence of faults at 111,452 miles implies the previous keeper addressed basic upkeep, yet the same-day fail-pass pairs undermine confidence in the record's precision. A buyer should physically inspect structural integrity underneath, particularly sill and subframe rust given the vehicle's age, and verify brake caliper operation and tyre tread depth despite no tester flags. Given the low annual use and clean recent pass, the Fiesta shows no worsening mechanical trend. Prior to purchase, a hands-on check of exhaust emissions, handbrake efficiency, and steering joint play remains sensible on a car of this vintage with gaps in its test history.
