2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GV59 RGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The test in February 2026 at 76,873 miles resulted in a failure due to a blown nearside front position lamp and front inner tyres reaching the legal limit. While these issues were rectified to secure a pass, the presence of uneven tyre wear suggests the owner is only addressing mechanical faults once they result in an inspection failure. At 76,873 miles, this 2009 Fiesta has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the February 2024 and February 2026 tests. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals due to age and potential stagnation, which appears consistent with the suspension issues noted in the previous record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry, given the recurring history of wear-related defects. The February 2025 test at 71,769 miles flagged worn rear suspension arm bushes and play in the front anti-roll bar linkages. Combined with the immediate inner tyre wear recorded in 2026, there is a high probability of tracking alignment issues or perished bushings that require immediate replacement. The buyer should also check for excessive play in the steering joints and the structural integrity of the subframe, as vehicles of this age are prone to corrosion regardless of low mileage.
