2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · MJ58 OVS

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 January 2026 at 68,800 miles. The maintenance trend shows recurring mechanical instability, evidenced by failures in both 2025 and 2026. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the presence of active advisories regarding tyre wear and exhaust integrity indicates that the vehicle requires immediate attention to these consumable components to maintain roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 68,800 over 17 years averages approximately 4,047 miles per annum. This low usage rate is consistent across the provided three-year window, with annual increments remaining steady. Such infrequent use often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and braking systems due to prolonged periods of inactivity, which is reflected in the specific faults recorded during recent inspections. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the steering and braking systems. The 2025 test identified a binding rear service brake and steering rack play, while the 2026 record highlights an exhaust leak and uneven tyre wear. These items suggest that the steering rack gaiters and suspension geometry should be checked for underlying wear. Given the history of binding brakes and exhaust leaks, verify the current condition of the centre exhaust section and ensure the steering rack does not exhibit the free play previously noted by testers.
