2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN09 VDZ

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 119,526 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual passes show no advisories or faults raised by testers. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 17-year-old car, averaging around 7,000 miles per year. The record moves from 99,210 miles at the 5 November 2022 test to 106,344 miles at a failed test on 28 October 2023, then 106,579 miles at a pass on 7 November 2023, 112,291 miles on 19 October 2024, and 119,526 miles on 5 November 2025. The DVSA entry for the October 2023 failure lists no defects, which suggests an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. The clean test history gives no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion to track. A single non-defect failure in late 2023 does not reveal an ongoing mechanical trend. The previous owner appears to have kept basic statutory testing current with no flagged wear on consumables or chassis parts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of common Fiesta wear points not always caught in a pass: rear suspension axle corrosion, front lower arm bushes, and brake caliper condition. Confirm the 2023 failure paperwork and verify genuine mileage continuity, given the tight 235-mile gap between the two November 2023 tests.
