2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GY09 MLN

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 22 April 2025 at 99,098 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the current owner has successfully addressed previous issues. While the history shows instances of failure in earlier years, the clean pass a year ago suggests the car is currently meeting the minimum legal safety and emissions standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,829 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap of 6,911 miles between March 2023 and June 2024, followed by another 5,744 miles between June 2024 and April 2025. This pattern suggests the car is used for short trips or remains stationary periodically, which often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage counterparts. However, the buyer should be aware that low-speed use can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the corrosion of brake surfaces over time. The recorded failures in March 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle previously required mechanical intervention to achieve compliance. Since the specific reasons for those failures are not detailed in the summary provided, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes. Given the age of the Ford Fiesta, the buyer should check for significant corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common points of failure on this model. Additionally, testing the brake system for pitting or seized calipers is advisable, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer surface rust on discs if not driven frequently.
