2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FG59 OGX

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable mechanical trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 April 2025 at 124,252 miles with zero defects recorded. This recent test confirms the vehicle currently meets minimum roadworthiness standards without immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The history contains anomalous entries, specifically failures recorded on 10 April 2024 and 16 March 2023 at 115,047 and 99,454 miles respectively, both noting no defects. These entries likely represent same-day retests after minor rectifications or administrative anomalies rather than serious recurring faults, as the subsequent passes on those exact dates show no advisories or defects. The recorded mileage aligns closely with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,309 miles per year, which reflects typical light usage rather than prolonged standing or high-stress commuting. Between the March 2023 test at 99,454 miles and the April 2024 test at 115,047 miles, the Fiesta covered roughly 15,500 miles, indicating a period of regular use. The subsequent drop to around 9,200 miles over the following twelve months suggests a recent reduction in daily driving. No significant gaps or unexplained mileage jumps appear in the record, pointing to consistent, if modest, annual accumulation. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on the typical wear points for a 17-year-old Fiesta of this mileage. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, as 124,252 miles will have taken their toll on damping and ride height. Check the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, alongside the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaking joints. Structural integrity around the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points requires close scrutiny for corrosion, which often goes unrecorded in MOT data but critically compromises the vehicle's long-term viability.
