2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EO59 UGM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive repair pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 75,606 miles passed, it failed just three miles prior due to a fractured nearside front coil spring and pitted front brake discs. This indicates a trend where components are only addressed once they reach a point of mechanical failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,606 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,447 miles per year. There is a significant two-year gap between the December 2023 test and the January 2025 test, during which the car covered 5,993 miles. This low annual usage often correlates with long periods of standing, which can accelerate the degradation of rubber components and fluids, as evidenced by the widespread corrosion across all four coil springs noted during the January 2025 inspection. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry, as the record shows all four coil springs suffered from corrosion in 2025, leading to a structural fracture by 2026. The braking system also requires close scrutiny; the history of a spongy pedal and thin pads in 2025 suggests either air in the lines or failing master cylinders that have not been properly overhauled. Given that the front discs were flagged as pitted and scored in the latest test, the surface quality and thickness of the rotors should be measured to ensure they are not nearing the minimum operating limit.
