2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN59 HRF

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 March 2025 at 70,348 miles with zero defects recorded. The MOT history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. A clean bill of health across the most recent two annual tests suggests the previous owner addressed any minor issues promptly, maintaining the car to a consistent standard without allowing defects to persist or worsen over time. At seventeen years old with 70,348 miles on the clock, this Fiesta has covered roughly 4,100 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for its age. The mileage progression confirms this light usage, accumulating just 2,852 miles between the March 2023 test at 64,754 miles and the March 2024 test at 67,621 miles, followed by a further 2,727 miles to the March 2025 test. Such low annual mileage typically points to short, local journeys rather than long-distance motorway driving, a pattern that can cause specific wear patterns distinct from higher-mileage vehicles. Despite the clean MOT record and the complete absence of recurring flagged faults, the low-mileage profile warrants a physical inspection of components that deteriorate through age and inactivity rather than use. Buyers should closely examine the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for perishing and cracking, as tyres often age out before they wear out on cars covering such short distances. The exhaust system requires checking for corrosion, particularly around the welds and silencer seams, as short trips prevent the exhaust from reaching full operating temperature, trapping moisture and accelerating internal rust. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and potential binding, a common issue on vehicles that stand for extended periods between short drives.
