2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN09 JXS

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 12 May 2025 at 117,812 miles with no defects recorded. Three consecutive annual tests from 2022 to 2025 returned passes with no advisories, indicating the previous owner kept the vehicle to a standard that satisfied DVSA examiners without recurring mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage rose from 99,301 in the 3 May 2022 test to 117,812 by May 2025, an average of roughly 6,170 miles per year across that span. This sits below the 6,930 miles per year lifetime average and aligns with typical light-use patterns for a 17-year-old supermini. The history shows a clean sequence aside from a failed then immediately passed test on 10 March 2023 at 103,210 miles, where the failure carried no listed defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault requiring rectification. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on UK roads. The MOT record flags none of these, but the absence of advisories over five years implies testers found no reportable wear rather than confirming component life remaining. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation during a viewing, and confirm the exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition match the clean record. The sparse but defect-free history implies consistent basic upkeep, though no MOT captures hidden fatigue in steering joints or undertray rust on a car of this vintage.
