2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN58 CXX

The 2009 Ford Fiesta maintains a stable and sound roadworthiness status, confirmed by its most recent pass on 29 October 2025 at 77,429 miles. Across the entire recorded history, the tester flagged zero defects, indicating consistent mechanical integrity. The maintenance trend remains entirely stable, with no emerging or recurring issues to suggest neglect or deterioration. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 4,555 miles annually. Between the October 2023 test at 67,639 miles and the October 2024 test at 70,786 miles, the car covered just over 3,100 miles. Usage increased slightly in the following year, reaching 77,426 miles by 28 October 2025, representing a modest annual mileage of approximately 6,600 miles. The tight clustering of test dates and mileages suggests the vehicle undergoes its annual test promptly, with retests occurring within 48 hours of the initial failures. Despite the clean MOT record, a low-mileage vehicle of this age presents specific risks associated with prolonged standing rather than high usage. A buyer must inspect perishable rubber components closely, checking suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as a lack of regular use can cause rubber to harden and perish. Brake calipers and discs also warrant a thorough inspection; infrequent driving often leads to surface corrosion on brake discs and sticking calipers, even if the car passes its braking efficiency test. Checking the condition of all fluids and the exhaust system for internal condensation-related corrosion will round out a prudent pre-purchase assessment.
