2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FG59 HHW

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 28 July 2025 at 164,479 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of a 2009 model. Between June 2022 and June 2024, the car covered only 1,627 miles, indicating a period of very light use or prolonged storage. A significant increase in usage occurred between June 2024 and July 2025, where the odometer rose by 11,649 miles. This shift from stagnation to active use can sometimes stress seals and rubber components. The absence of advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. There are no recorded failures regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs, nor any mentions of structural corrosion. This suggests a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very lenient testing history. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and underbody. Given the vehicle is 17 years old, structural rust often develops in areas not always captured in a clean MOT report. Check for perished tyres and brake caliper seizure, as the period of low activity between 2022 and 2024 may have left components dormant.
