2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LT59 FXZ

The 2009 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2026-02-05 MOT at 59,093 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2025-02-03 (56,372 miles) and 2024-02-05 (53,192 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, an apparent discrepancy exists: a 2025-02-03 test at 56,370 miles is listed as failed with no defects recorded, which may indicate a data entry error or unresolved technical concern. Despite this, the absence of recurring faults in subsequent tests implies the vehicle remains mechanically sound. The mileage of 59,093 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 3,476 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age. This low usage suggests minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though prolonged inactivity could accelerate corrosion or rubber degradation. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, and the gradual mileage increases between tests (e.g., +2,980 miles from 2024 to 2025) indicate steady, light use. No gaps in the record or sudden spikes in mileage are evident, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear in these components. The absence of brake-related defects in MOTs is reassuring, but visual checks for corrosion on brake discs and binding calipers are advised. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on wheel arches and underbody panels for rust, which may develop during periods of inactivity. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2025 failed test without recorded defects warrants further investigation to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
