2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MX59 RYJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 17 November 2025 at 98,223 miles, indicating a stable and positive roadworthiness trend. While the record shows a failed test on the same date as the subsequent pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely a procedural or administrative error rather than a mechanical failure. The car has maintained a clean record for the past four years, which points to consistent upkeep and a lack of recurring structural or safety-critical issues. The recorded mileage of 98,223 over seventeen years averages approximately 5,778 miles per annum, which is notably low for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The accumulation pattern remains steady, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests and a similar increase leading into the most recent inspection. This consistent usage suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than left to sit for extended periods, which helps prevent the common rubber seal degradation and fuel system issues associated with long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components and chassis, as these areas often escape notice during automated testing. Check the coil springs for signs of snapping and inspect the suspension bushes for perishing, as these are common wear items on this platform that may not trigger an MOT failure until they reach an advanced state of play. Examine the brake discs and pads for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, as the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to binding calipers if the vehicle is not exercised frequently. Ensure the exhaust system shows no signs of heavy corrosion or blowing, as these components are prone to deterioration on older Fiestas regardless of the clean test history.
