2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · EY09 HMA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent test on 26 March 2025 at 49,133 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects, following a failure just two days prior at 49,131 miles. While the record does not specify the reason for that failure, the proximity suggests a minor issue, such as a blown bulb or a sensor, which was rectified immediately before the retest. Since March 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,890 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 44,777 miles and March 2025 at 49,133 miles, the car covered 4,356 miles. This low usage often indicates short-distance trips or long periods of inactivity. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, low-mileage increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown, which occurs regardless of the odometer reading. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on components prone to perish rather than mechanical wear. Check for cracking or splitting in the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls as these become brittle when a vehicle sits. Given the low mileage, inspect for corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, as infrequent use often leads to surface oxidation. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches for hidden rust, as Ford models of this era are susceptible to corrosion that low mileage does not always prevent.
