2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · LX09 WPM

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and consistently maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT test on 5 August 2025 at 50,081 miles passed without a single defect recorded. This clean bill of health extends back through the previous four annual assessments, indicating an entirely absent trend of mechanical deterioration. The vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards, reflecting diligent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The recorded mileage demonstrates exceptionally light usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the August 2021 test at 36,657 miles and the August 2025 test at 50,081 miles, the Fiesta covered just 13,424 miles over four years, averaging roughly 3,356 miles annually. The yearly increments remain remarkably consistent, showing no sudden spikes in usage or alarming gaps in testing that might suggest prolonged stationary periods. This steady, low-mileage accumulation points to a previous owner who used the car sparingly, likely for short, local journeys. Despite the flawless MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a physical inspection of components that degrade through age and standing rather than use. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as short trips and long stationary periods accelerate rubber perishing. The brake discs and pads require scrutiny for surface corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that sit idle, which can cause binding or inefficient stopping even if the system passes a roadside test. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, as infrequent use does not prevent rubber from perishing or metal from corroding. While the MOT history flags no structural rust or mechanical faults, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
