2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CY59 CFU

The 2025‑11‑25 MOT at 96,987 miles records a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness and a stable maintenance trend. Since the 2022 test at 83,577 miles, each annual inspection has produced a clean result, suggesting no worsening mechanical condition. The vehicle’s 17‑year lifespan and 96,987‑mile odometer equate to roughly 5,700 miles per year, a figure lower than typical for a 2009 model. Mileage accumulation shows irregularity: a jump of 9,137 miles between the 2017 (54,566 mi) and 2018 (63,703 mi) tests, followed by steady increases of 4,000‑5,000 miles per year until 2022, then a slower rise of about 2,200 miles in the final year. Recurring issues flagged in earlier records include near‑side rear stop‑lamp failures (2021, 2019), child‑seat anchorage limiting adult belt inspection (2021, 2019, 2018), tyre wear approaching the legal limit (2020, 2022) and pronounced cracking of rear tyres (2017), as well as frayed seat‑belt stitching (2017) and noisy wiper blades (2017). These patterns point to potential wear on rear suspension bushes, binding rear brakes, structural rust around wheel arches, and degraded safety‑critical components. A buyer should therefore inspect rear brake function, suspension condition, tyre tread and side‑wall integrity, check for corrosion on the chassis and wheel‑well areas, verify the operation of all stop lamps and headlamps, examine seat‑belt integrity and child‑seat anchorage, and assess wiper blade condition before purchase.
