2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DA09 FYN

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile as of the most recent DVSA test on 19 May 2025 at 126,706 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The same-day failure on 19 May 2025 at identical mileage yet with no defects listed points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the car cleared the test. Across the four prior annual tests from May 2022 to May 2025, the tester raised no advisories or defects, showing a clean and consistent maintenance trend with no worsening condition. Recorded mileage rose from 113,937 in May 2022 to 126,706 by May 2025, an average of roughly 4,256 miles per year across that window and well below the lifetime average of 7,453 miles per year. The low annual accumulation suggests light use by the recent keeper. The DVSA history shows no gaps between tests, with each renewal occurring in May, and the absence of any flagged wear items implies the previous owners kept basic consumables and structural components within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is seventeen years old and has covered 126,706 miles. The MOT record lists no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but age-related rust on sills and subframes can develop between tests without detection. Verify the 19 May 2025 same-day fail and pass was clerical, not a concealed defect, by checking the VOSA failure reason code if available. Given the clean advisory history, the Fiesta shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring immediate intervention. Inspect tyre sidewalls, exhaust emissions under load, and handbrake efficiency on the day of viewing to confirm the pass result still holds.
