Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 103,382 miles on 8 July 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history as no defects or advisories were ever logged by testers. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination without fault, though the preceding week saw a failed test at 103,124 miles on 3 July 2025 where the DVSA entry recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a seventeen-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,081 miles per year against the 103,382 miles recorded. The history shows clean annual increments: 85,696 miles at the July 2023 test, 94,012 miles in July 2024, and 103,124 to 103,382 miles by July 2025, giving around 8,300 to 9,400 miles per year over the captured period. No standing gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the sparse three-year record. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and the unexplained July 2025 failure with zero defects noted. The clean advisory history offers no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, but the twin failed-then-passed pattern at the same garage within days suggests verifying the braking system and tyre condition in person. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt a 2009 chassis from age-related rust or perishing rubber that a road test would expose.
