2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FL04 BEX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in November 2025 at 77,889 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum safety standards. This clean sheet suggests that the previous owner has addressed any developing issues, as the previously flagged in earlier tests have been resolved. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per annum. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the car covered 12,404 miles, maintaining a consistent history of low-intensity use. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown. The consistent annual testing interval suggests the vehicle has been regularly maintained despite the low annual mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and tyre condition. The November 2022 test at 68,811 miles flagged both the nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. While the subsequent tests passed without advisories, a physical check of the control arms, shocks, and bushes is necessary to ensure that the uneven wear pattern does not recur. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the rear sills and brake lines is also advised, as stationary vehicles are prone to surface rust over time.
