2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LL59 CGY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 26 December 2025 at 65,752 miles resulted in a pass following a failure related to lighting and the washer system. While the car meets the immediate legal safety standards, the recurring appearance of deteriorated registration plates and lighting issues across multiple years suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical defects once they prevented the vehicle from failing the annual MOT test. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 65,752 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,868 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with 1,772 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 1,954 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. This low mileage often leads to secondary degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on braking surfaces due to inactivity, rather than mechanical wear from heavy use. A buyer should specifically inspect the front brake system, as the tester flagged the discs as worn, pitted, or scored in December 2025. Given the low mileage, this pitting is likely caused by the vehicle sitting for long periods rather than aggressive braking. The condition of all external lighting bulbs and reflectors should also be verified, as these have been persistent points of failure. Because the vehicle is of age, a thorough underside inspection to check for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting is essential, as low-mileage cars can hide hidden rust that MOT records do not reveal.
