2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · ML59 KGP

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 11 April 2025 at 106,091 miles, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of deferred minor repairs. While the car has passed every inspection since 2021, the recurring nature of several advisories suggests that the previous owner prioritised minimal compliance over proactive servicing. The presence of an oil leak noted in every test since 2022 indicates a persistent issue that has not been addressed, while the exhaust system required attention for three consecutive years before the most recent test. The recorded mileage of 106,091 over seventeen years averages to approximately 6,240 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate usage for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. A notable increase in annual usage occurred between February 2021 and March 2022, where the vehicle covered nearly 12,000 miles, followed by a steadier accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 9,000 miles per year thereafter. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which generally helps prevent issues related to seized components or stale fuel. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the engine bay to identify the source and severity of the persistent oil leak, as this could range from a simple rocker cover gasket to more complex seal failures. The front brake discs, flagged as worn and pitted in the latest test, will likely require replacement in the near future to maintain braking efficiency. You should also verify the integrity of the rear exhaust section, as minor leaks often escalate into structural failures or increased emissions. Finally, ensure the offside rear reflector is replaced to restore full light output, and check the condition of the rear seatbelts, which were obscured during the last inspection.
