2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · ML59 RVZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on July 2, 2024 at 182,674 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a technical failure recorded exactly one day prior to that pass with no listed defects. This specific sequence suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical decline. Since March 2022, the car has maintained a clean record, indicating a period of consistent compliance with roadworthiness standards. The mileage profile is consistent with a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. However, there is a significant spike in usage recorded between April 2024 and July 2024, where the car covered over 82,000 miles in just three months. This rapid accumulation is highly unusual for this Fiesta and likely placed extreme stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components. While the previous years from 2022 to 2023 show steady use, the recent intensity suggests a change in vehicle purpose or recent heavy-duty operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, given the high total mileage. High-mileage Fords of this era are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points, which can compromise the vehicle's safety. Check for worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and perished springs, as the recent burst of mileage likely accelerated wear and tear. Examine the brake discs for excessive thinning or binding calipers to ensure the high-intensity driving has not caused heat damage or mechanical fatigue in the braking system.
