2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · GF09 VRX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent test conducted on 29 July 2025 at 136,530 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While the vehicle failed its test on 22 August 2023, the immediate rectification and subsequent clean passes suggest the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults as they arise. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the car covered 4,319 miles, while the interval between August 2024 and July 2025 saw 4,496 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle undergoes regular trips rather than sitting for long periods of inactivity, which is generally beneficial for the preservation of the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-age, very low-mileage examples. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history, a buyer should focus on the structural integrity common to the 2009 Fiesta generation. At 136,530 miles, a physical inspection must prioritize checking corrosion on the rear sills and suspension mounting points, where these models frequently suffer. The buyer should also verify the condition of the rubber bushes and control arm joints, as these often perish over seventeen years of use regardless of a clean MOT record. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven pad thickness is also prudent to ensure the vehicle remains as reliable as the paperwork suggests.
