Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a pattern of
When viewing this specific Fiesta, check the security of the battery installation, as this has appeared as a failure or advisory in both 2025 and 2026. Ensure all exterior lighting, specifically the nearside rear stop lamp and side repeaters, are fully functional, as these were recent causes for failure.
Ask for evidence of recent suspension work. The 2025 MOT noted corroded rear lower coil springs on both sides, and the 2024 test identified play in the steering rack inner joints. Verifying that these components have been replaced or repaired is essential for safety and handling.
The 1388cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for small hatchbacks. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is typically decent for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs for this model can vary; while parts are widely available, the MOT history suggests you should budget for periodic replacement of consumables like tyres and suspension components. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and maintenance, sit in the mid-range for a vehicle of this age.
Specifically inspect the rear suspension area for signs of continued corrosion, following the 2025 failure regarding the rear lower coil springs. You should also check the steering for any 'play' or looseness, given the steering rack inner joint issue recorded in 2024.
Test all exterior lights and indicators thoroughly to ensure no recurrence of the 2026 failure. Additionally, check the condition of the tyres, particularly the nearside rear, as damage and perishing have been noted in previous MOT records.
This 2009 blue Ford Fiesta 1.4 petrol has covered 83,022 miles since its first registration in November 2009. The MOT history shows a trend of minor defects, including lighting, battery security, and suspension components. While it has passed its latest test in March 2026, the recorded mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,829 miles per year.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6%, with common failure points including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
