2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NJ58 NUK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent inspection on 25 May 2023 at 115,803 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems were functioning within DVSA tolerances at that time. While a failure occurred briefly in May 2022, the vehicle was re-tested and passed just six days later, suggesting the owner was proactive in rectifying immediate issues identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per annum. Between February 2020 at 103,242 miles and May 2023 at 115,803 miles, the car covered roughly 12,500 miles, reflecting steady, low-intensity use. This lack of rapid mileage spikes reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the age of the vehicle means that rubber and plastic parts may face age-related degradation regardless of distance traveled. Given that the last MOT was conducted over three years ago, a physical inspection must focus on components that deteriorate during stationary periods. A buyer should specifically check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of Fiesta. The inspector should also evaluate the brake system for seized calipers and check the condition of suspension bushes and bushings, as the record does not detail these wear items since the clean 2023 test.
