2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FN59 NGU

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 June 2025 at 57,334 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 29 May 2024 at 51,938 miles confirms no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 57,334 against an age of roughly seventeen years, equating to about 3,373 miles per year. The gap between the May 2024 and June 2025 tests shows only 5,396 miles added, consistent with light use. The DVSA data is sparse: a failed test on 28 May 2024 at 51,938 miles lists no defects, with a pass issued the next day, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault. No advisories for tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion appear in either pass. Given the clean record, a buyer should still verify in person the items a short MOT history cannot expose. Standing time implied by low annual mileage risks perished rubber components, stiff handbrake cables, and flat-spotted tyres. Inspect coil springs and suspension arms for cracking, and check underneath for structural rust where moisture may have gathered during idle periods. The absence of recurring faults points to reasonable upkeep by previous owners, but the 2024 same-week fail-pass with no defects warrants confirmation the vehicle was not taken off the road unresolved. A pre-purchase inspection of brakes, emissions, and chassis integrity remains sensible on a seventeen-year-old low-mileage hatchback.
