2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · NC09 AFE

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 November 2025 at 42,704 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean sheet remains consistent across the last five annual tests, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures that typically trigger MOT advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2025, the vehicle covered only 17,876 miles, moving from 24,828 to 42,704 miles. Such low usage often indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brakes. However, long intervals between tests can also suggest periods of standing, where rubber-based components begin to degrade through age regardless of the distance travelled. While the MOT history shows no faults, a buyer must focus on components susceptible to age rather than just mileage. A physical inspection should check for dry rot in the tyre sidewalls and perished rubber bushes in the suspension, which are common on low-mileage older Fiestas. You should also examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust and seized calipers. Given the vehicle's age, checking the structural integrity of the arches and chassis points is essential to ensure that hidden corrosion has not compromised the frame over time.
