2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MF09 ECC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 7 October 2025 at 79,931 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by rectifications. In both October 2024 and October 2025, the car failed the initial test but passed just a few days later. This suggests that minor defects are being identified and addressed promptly by the owner rather than being allowed to persist. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 79,931 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile vehicles. The data shows consistent usage between 2023 and 2025, with the car covering 5,314 miles over that two-year period. However, low mileage on an older Fiesta can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and potential corrosion of brake surfaces due to long periods of inactivity rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components that caused the recent test failures, as the records do not specify the exact faults. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity on the sills, rear wheel arches, and floor pans is essential. You should also inspect the suspension bushes for cracks and the coil springs for corrosion, which often perish on low-mileage older cars. Checking the brake discs for pitting or seizing is also advisable given the car has likely sat intermittently.
