2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GL09 FKP

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state, showing an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in October 2025 at 103,528 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This represents a significant shift from previous years where the vehicle required immediate repairs to achieve compliance. The transition from failed tests to a clean pass sheet suggests that the current owner has addressed the underlying mechanical or safety issues previously flagging the car. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 103,528 miles reflects an annual average of approximately 6,090 miles. This figure aligns with low-use patterns for an urban hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,500 miles covered between April 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,400 miles covered since October 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the mechanical components such as the drivetrain and suspension have not faced excessive stress compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. While the latest record is clean, the historical failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical lapses that require close monitoring. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion, as older Ford Fiestas frequently develop rust in the sills and wheel arches. Given the history of failures, specifically inspect the suspension bushes for signs of tearing and check the brake lines for thinning or perished rubber. The lack of advisories in the latest test is encouraging but still requires proactive maintenance to maintain its current roadworthiness status.
