2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP09 LWS

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 December 2025 at 83,344 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous issues identified during earlier tests have been successfully addressed. While the car experienced two failures in late 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the owner is proactive in rectifying mechanical faults to maintain the vehicle to legal standards. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 83,344 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to higher-mile counterparts. The data shows a burst of activity in 2024, where the car covered roughly 4,000 miles between April and October, followed by another 8,000 miles through to late 2025. This pattern indicates intermittent use, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that caused the failures in April and October 2024, as the record does not specify the exact mechanical cause for those rejects. Given the age of this Ford Fiesta, it is also vital to check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, which are common failure points for this generation. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and the brake calipers for binding, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from seized components and perished surface rubber.
