2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MK59 MTY

The 2009 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 2025-08-19 with 151,479 miles, despite an oil leak and a deteriorated rear registration plate. However, the same issues were present on the failed MOT on 2025-08-18, alongside corroded suspension component mounting areas on both sides. A recurring mechanical pattern is evident, with oil leaks reported in 2024 and 2025, and a coolant leak in 2024. There were also issues with coil springs (2024) and track rod end ball joints (2023), which are concerning signs of wear on suspension and steering components. The trend in the MOT history appears to be worsening, with more defects reported in the most recent failed MOT compared to the passed MOT. The presence of excessive corrosion on suspension component mounting areas is a significant concern, as it can compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle. The mileage of 151,479 miles is roughly typical for a 17-year-old vehicle, with an average annual mileage of around 8,911 miles. However, the presence of oil leaks and other issues suggests that the vehicle may have been subject to hard use or neglect at some point. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person and pay particular attention to the following: - The condition of the suspension and steering components, including the coil springs and track rod end ball joints. - The presence of any oil leaks or signs of excessive wear on the engine and drivetrain.
