2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE09 RKZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of consistent clean results. The most recent test conducted on 3 October 2025 at 65,817 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet DVSA standards. This follows a trend of successful passes, suggesting that the vehicle has been adequately maintained over the last two years. The mileage data reflects exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. Between April 2023 at 59,711 miles and April 2025 at 64,989 miles, the car covered only 5,278 miles, suggesting long periods of inactivity between use. While the failure on 23 April 2024 at 62,154 miles indicates a specific issue, the immediate pass on the same day shows the fault was rectified promptly without becoming a chronic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age and inactivity rather than mileage. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, seals, and tyre perish, which can crack regardless of distance travelled. Examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and the calipers, as infrequent use can lead to binding or seizing. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches, is essential to ensure that hidden rust has not compromised the chassis despite the clean MOT history.
