2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP09 MKO

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 24 May 2025 at 107,554 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the June 2024 cycle showed a clean pass at 105,731 miles after an initial failure on the same date at 105,730 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid test since June 2022 without advisories. Mileage accumulation is modest for a 17-year-old car. The record shows 102,492 miles in June 2022, rising to 103,964 by June 2023, then 105,730 to 105,731 in June 2024, and 107,554 by May 2025. That equates to roughly 1,200 to 1,800 miles per year across the captured period, well below the 6,327 annual average implied by the lifetime figure. The sparse five-entry history with zero advisories suggests light use and a previous owner who kept the car garaged or on short runs, though the absence of flagged wear items means underlying corrosion or tired suspension bushes may simply have escaped notation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record offers no visibility of hidden rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounts. The clean sheets do not confirm the condition of brake discs, coil springs, or steering joints beyond the test-day snapshot. Given the low yearly mileage, perished rubber components and seized calipers from standing are more plausible risks than high-mileage drivetrain wear. Verify the V5C matches the recorded keepers and confirm the May 2025 test certificate. The same-day fail and pass in June 2024 warrants a check of the DVSA refusal reason to rule out a mileage or identity mismatch before purchase.
