2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FL59 FOD

The 2009 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 171,933 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the three years of available history. The vehicle shows a recurring pattern of initial failure followed by rapid pass at identical mileage, failing on 12 January 2026 and again on 10 January 2025 before passing days later, both times with no defects listed on the certificate. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the first attempt rather than active mechanical faults, though the record gives no detail on the nature of those failures. Annual mileage averages around 10,114 miles, which is typical for a 17-year-old car. The odometer moved from 152,692 miles at the January 2024 test to 160,972 miles in January 2025 and 171,933 miles by January 2026, showing consistent yearly use of roughly 9,000 to 11,000 miles with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The DVSA data is sparse and clean beyond the pass-fail-pass sequence, recording no advisories, corrosion, brake wear, or suspension concerns across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and 171,933 miles, as MOT records with zero advisories do not capture early-stage rust or tired suspension bushes. The twin failure-then-pass events at 160,972 and 171,933 miles warrant verification that no genuine fault was masked by a quick retest. Examine brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, and coil springs directly, since the history offers no evidence of wear but provides no reassurance on components the tester did not flag.
