2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MT59 HHR

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent MOT test conducted on 19 December 2025 at 81,299 miles identified an advisory for a worn rear suspension arm pin or bush. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of component fatigue in the undercarriage that marks a departure from the clean records seen in the previous three annual tests. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 4,782 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with a 11,210-mile increase between November 2022 and November 2023, and another 4,755 miles between May 2024 and December 2024. This low usage suggests minimal strain on the engine and drivetrain, though low-mileage vehicles often suffer from accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake seals if the car sits for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension to assess the extent of the worn bushes flagged in the December 2025 test. They should check for excessive play in the arm joints and signs of perished rubber, which could lead to uneven tyre wear. Given the vehicle's age, it is also necessary to inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, as these are common points of failure for this era of Fiesta regardless of the low mileage.
