2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · KX58 OKV

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 6 August 2025 at 124,419 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable on paper, though the record shows two consecutive years where the car failed the initial test before passing days later on a near-identical mileage, indicating last-minute rectification rather than neglect of major systems. No advisories or defects appear across any test, so the DVSA data alone shows no worsening mechanical drift. Recorded mileage rose from 111,384 in June 2023 to 117,781 by July 2024 and 124,419 by August 2025, an average of roughly 6,500 miles per year that sits below the 7,319-mile norm for its age. The car covered only five miles between the failed and passed tests in July 2024 and zero between the July and August 2025 retests, confirming the failures were administrative or minor and cleared without significant use. The sparse, clean history gives little insight into consumable wear but shows no rapid accumulation that would accelerate drivetrain fatigue. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's 17-year age and 124,419 miles. The repeated fail-then-pass pattern within days suggests previous owners deferred the test until deadline and may have skipped interim servicing. Structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes will not show on a defect-free certificate and warrants close examination on the ramp. Check exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition in person, as the MOT record logs no advisories that would flag ageing rubber or mild blowing. The absence of flagged faults across five years implies basic upkeep was adequate, but the two silent failures hint the keeper treated the MOT as a gate rather than a maintenance checkpoint.
