2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GU59 NWW

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at 77,579 miles on 20 June 2025. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. A prior test on 23 June 2023 at 64,858 miles was recorded as a failure despite showing no listed defects, likely an administrative anomaly or a rectified issue before the retest passed on the same day. Since that point, the vehicle has passed two consecutive MOTs without any advisories, demonstrating consistent upkeep and resolving any prior concerns. The annual mileage accumulation sits at approximately 4,563 miles per year, which is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2024 test at 72,616 miles and the June 2025 test at 77,579 miles, the car covered 4,963 miles, maintaining this pattern of light usage. Earlier records show a similar trajectory, with the vehicle traveling 8,386 miles between June 2022 and June 2023. Such low annual mileage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which carries its own implications for consumable degradation. Despite the clean MOT record, prolonged stationary periods demand a thorough physical inspection of perishable components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat-spotting, as rubber degrades with age rather than mileage alone. Brake discs and calipers require checking for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding or reduced braking efficiency. Suspension bushes and exhaust components should also be inspected for deterioration, as low-mileage, older vehicles often suffer from perished rubber and internal rust rather than the mechanical wear seen on high-mileage examples.
