2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MF09 YLX

The most recent MOT on 2025-07-08 shows a pass at 99,345 miles, but a fail entry on the same date at 99,343 miles reveals critical tire issues. The nearside front inner tyre was worn close to the legal limit, and the offside front tyre had exposed ply or cords. These defects indicate significant wear and potential safety risks, particularly for handling and braking. The pass entry likely reflects a retest after repairs, but the fail record highlights ongoing tyre degradation. A recurring pattern of tire-related defects dominates the MOT history. From 2023 to 2025, multiple tyres have shown wear close to legal limits, cracking, perishing, or structural damage. The 2024-07-03 fail noted tread pattern invisibility on the nearside front tyre, while the 2024-07-05 pass listed slightly distorted rear wheels and damaged tyres. These issues suggest consistent neglect or insufficient inspection of tyre condition, possibly exacerbated by low mileage. The vehicle’s mileage of 99,345 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 5,844 miles per year, which is below average for its age. This could imply lighter use, but it also raises concerns about prolonged inactivity, which may accelerate tyre perishing or suspension stiffness.
