2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · GN09 PFX

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance profile characterized by recurring electrical failures and inconsistent attention to mechanical upkeep. While the March 2025 test at 124,843 miles resulted in a pass, the immediate preceding failure on March 21, 2025, revealed a significant cluster of electrical issues, including a non-functional horn, SRS warning lamp faults, and multiple lighting failures. This pattern of failing on basic consumables and electrical components suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, with the mileage climbing from 74,418 in February 2020 to 124,843 in March 2025. There are no significant periods of long-term inactivity evident in the data, though the jump from 102,657 miles in March 2024 to 124,843 miles in March 2025 indicates a slightly higher usage rate in the most recent twelve-month period. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension and steering systems. The history shows a persistent trend of corrosion and wear, specifically regarding coil springs and steering rack inner joints, which appeared in 2021 and 2022. Furthermore, the gearbox mounting was flagged as defective across multiple tests between 2020 and 2021, and the exhaust system has a documented history of heavy corrosion dating back to 2015. The braking system also requires close scrutiny. Although the March 2025 test passed, previous records from 2020 and 2024 highlighted worn, pitted, or scored brake discs and thin brake pads. Given the recurring issues with suspension bushes, ball joints, and structural corrosion on components like the coil springs, a comprehensive underside inspection is essential to ensure these previous faults have been professionally rectified rather than merely patched.
