2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · LS09 BWW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test, conducted on 28 November 2025 at 93,576 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum road safety standards. While a failure was recorded on 23 January 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that any identified issues were rectified promptly, maintaining a consistent trend of clean results in subsequent tests. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 93,576 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. This low usage pattern suggests light road exposure, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine. However, the data shows a significant gap between the January 2023 test at 85,663 miles and the January 2024 test at 87,877 miles, where only 2,214 miles were covered in a year. Recent usage has increased, with over 5,700 miles logged since the eighteen months. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear. Because the car has sat for extended periods, rubber elements such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidewalls may show cracking. Inspect the chassis for structural corrosion on the sills and wing arches, as older Ford models are prone to rust regardless of low mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles are not kept in regular use.
