2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FL59 FON

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 58,222 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A failed test occurred on 1 September 2023 at 48,842 miles, yet the record shows no specific defects attached to this failure, suggesting an administrative issue or an inability to complete the test rather than a mechanical fault. Since that date, the car has passed cleanly twice, demonstrating consistent upkeep and resolving any prior concerns. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 3,425 miles annually. Between the September 2022 test at 41,727 miles and the September 2023 test at 48,842 miles, the car covered 7,115 miles in a single year, representing a notable spike in usage. However, this pattern reversed sharply thereafter; the vehicle traveled only 8,455 miles over the subsequent two years, from 48,843 miles in September 2023 to 58,222 miles in September 2025. Such minimal recent use raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which demands careful inspection of perishable components like rubber seals and tyres. Despite the absence of recorded mechanical advisories, the low annual mileage and potential for extended stationary periods warrant a focused physical inspection. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as well as assessing the brake discs for surface corrosion that can develop when a car sits unused. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts also require scrutiny, as rubber perishes with age rather than mileage. The engine should be checked for signs of moisture ingress or stale fuel issues, common in vehicles that cover very short distances or stand idle for long durations.
