2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ND09 TYT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 14 May 2026 at 48,729 miles. This follows a period of consistent passing over the last five years, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum standards. The absence of defects in the latest two tests suggests that any previous issues have been addressed and the vehicle is being maintained to a standard that prevents immediate mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,866 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the car covered 14,440 miles, representing a consistent but light usage rate of roughly 3,600 miles annually. While this low mileage typically reduces the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related rubber degradation, brake seizing, and fluid-related issues due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the 2023 advisory at 37,466 miles noted a nearside front tyre worn excessively on the inside edge. This often indicates incorrect camber or worn suspension bushes, which could continue to prematurely thin tyres if not rectified. Given the low usage, the brakes should be checked for binding calipers or pitted discs, as under-used vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on braking components. The damaged nearside mirror noted in 2024 is a minor cosmetic defect but should be verified for structural integrity to ensure proper visibility.
