2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EA09 HPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual inspections. The most recent test in April 2025 at 90,651 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,332 miles per year. The data shows a steady but slow accumulation of mileage; between May 2022 at 76,649 miles and April 2025 at 90,651 miles, the car covered 14,002 miles. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long intervals between tests sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake systems due to inactivity. The single failure recorded in May 2024 at 87,995 miles, followed by an immediate pass on the same day, indicates a specific issue that was rectified quickly. Because the record lacks detailed advisories or specific faults, a physical inspection must focus on common age-related wear points for a low-mileage Fiesta. A buyer should check for corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points, which often occur regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage, inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and check the brake calipers for seized pistons, as these components suffer when a vehicle sits for long periods. The age of the tyres is also critical, as old rubber can crack before the tread depth reaches the legal limit.
