2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EA59 YNT

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 30 October 2025 at 166,461 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable but reactive pattern. The record shows immediate failures followed by passes in both 2024 and 2025, which suggests that the previous owner addresses specific defects only when flagged by the MOT tester to meet legal compliance, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule to avoid test failures. At 166,461 miles over 17 years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,800 miles per annum, which aligns closely with national UK averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 10,000 miles covered between October 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,841 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining engine seals and drivetrain components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components most likely to fail at this mileage and age. While the most recent tests recorded no defects, the recurring failures in previous years imply the vehicle operates on the edge of its component limits. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, alongside an assessment of suspension bushes and control arm bolts. Inspect the brake system for seized calipers or excessive disc thickness, as these are common points of failure on high-mileage Fiestas that frequently lead to immediate MOT failures.
