2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · HN09 GZX

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 April 2025 at 129,838 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the pattern of a failure immediately preceding each pass in 2024 and 2025 warrants scrutiny. Both failures at 119,145 miles (30 April 2024) and 129,630 miles (22 April 2025) logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage rose from 110,738 at the May 2023 test to 119,172 by May 2024, then to 129,838 by April 2025. That equates to roughly 8,400 and 10,600 miles per year across those intervals, marginally above the lifetime average of 7,638. The 17-year-old car shows consistent use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse, carrying only passes and two defect-free failures across three years, so no wear items or structural concerns were formally flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and mileage. The repeated defect-free failures suggest the previous owner may have presented the car without valid documentation or current consumables such as wiper blades or lamps, rather than neglecting core mechanics. Verify the reason for the 2024 and 2025 failures with the testing station before purchase. Check underneath for corrosion to structural members and examine exhaust emissions during a cold start. No advisories appear in the record, but the absence of flagged wear at 129,838 miles on a 2009 chassis is unusual and may reflect lenient testing rather than a fault-free vehicle.
