Our Verdict
A reasonable option for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific black 1.4L diesel, focus on the suspension components. The 2024 MOT recorded play in the nearside front anti-roll bar ball joint, so check for any knocking sounds when driving over uneven surfaces. Although the 2026 test was clear, the recurring issue with tyres being worn close to the legal limit in 2024 and 2025 suggests you should check the current tread depth and alignment across all four tyres.
Ask the seller for evidence of recent servicing, particularly regarding the diesel engine's timing belt and fuel system. Given the mileage is approaching 100,000, ensure that any major preventative maintenance scheduled for this mileage has been addressed. Negotiate on the basis of the tyre wear patterns seen in previous years, as this may indicate a need for a wheel alignment.
As a 1.4L diesel, this Fiesta is designed for efficiency, likely sitting in a relatively low insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a 2009 vehicle, making it suitable for longer commutes.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though you should budget for typical wear-and-tear items like brake pads, tyres, and suspension bushings. Expect an estimated annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension. The MOT history specifically flagged an anti-roll bar ball joint issue in 2024 and repeated tyre wear issues in 2024 and 2025. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate tracking or alignment problems.
Additionally, while not recorded in this vehicle's specific history, the aggregate data for this model shows headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs as common failure points. It is prudent to check the brightness of the headlamps and the condition of the exhaust system for corrosion during your viewing.
This 2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCi presents with 96,760 miles on the clock, which is significantly higher than the model average of 5,779 miles per year. While the most recent MOT in March 2026 showed no defects, the vehicle has a history of tyre wear and minor suspension play. It represents a typical high-use diesel example of this era.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
