2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE59 XGC

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 11 November 2025 at 75,765 miles with no recorded defects. While the current status is clean, the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the vehicle failed the test and passed the following day, suggesting that faults are addressed only specifically to meet MOT requirements rather than through a proactive maintenance schedule. At 17 years old, the recorded 75,765 miles represents exceptionally low usage, averaging 4,457 miles per year. This low mileage is significantly below the national average and typically indicates less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components. However, the mileage gap between November 2023 and November 2024 of only 3,886 miles suggests the car sits stationary for long periods. Low-use vehicles of this age often suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and the sills, as Ford Fiesta models from this era are prone to corrosion in areas hidden from view. Given the low annual mileage and the history of immediate MOT passes, you should check for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and dry rubber seals resulting from sitting for extended periods. The lack of advisories in the recent records suggests that minor issues like light bulbs or wiper blades are likely replaced just before the test, which points to a reactive approach to vehicle management.
