2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FJ59 WYR

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and clean maintenance trajectory. The most recent test occurred on 8 March 2025 at 109,018 miles, passing with zero defects recorded, though this certificate is now over sixteen months old relative to the current date. The trend is firmly stable, showing no recurring mechanical or structural failures across the documented history. A minor anomaly appears in the December 2023 record where the vehicle failed on 8 December at 104,270 miles before passing four days later on 12 December at 104,339 miles, though neither test lists specific defects. This sequence suggests a minor, easily rectified issue rather than a persistent fault. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old supermini, averaging roughly 6,413 miles per year. The progression is steady, moving from 97,535 miles in August 2021 to 100,675 miles in August 2022, and reaching 104,339 miles by December 2023. A notable gap exists between the December 2023 test and the most recent March 2025 test, during which only 4,679 miles were covered over fifteen months. This indicates a recent period of lighter use or potential long-term standing, which requires attention to fluid degradation and tyre condition. The MOT record contains no recurring advisories or flagged defects, meaning the digital history offers no specific mechanical red flags. However, a vehicle of this age and mileage demands a rigorous physical inspection focused on typical wear items. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, and check the brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, particularly given the recent low mileage. Inspect the underbody and sills for structural corrosion, a common issue for older Fiestas, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and tyre rubber, which may have perished from standing rather than worn from use.
