2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · NL09 ADV

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 8 December 2023 at 129,669 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior tests in December 2022 at 117,884 miles, November 2021 at 107,768 miles, and December 2020 at 103,219 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failure on 15 December 2020 at 103,216 miles, which the record lists with no defects recorded, followed by a pass one day later at 103,219 miles. This suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 7,628 miles, consistent with typical use for a 17-year-old vehicle. The gap between the November 2021 test at 107,768 miles and the December 2022 test at 117,884 miles shows roughly 10,000 miles covered, slightly above the annual mean but unremarkable. From 2020 to 2023 the odometer advanced about 26,450 miles, a steady accumulation with no sudden jumps or long dormant periods. The MOT data is sparse on advisories, showing no flagged wear to tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across the visible history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the Fiesta of this era is prone to sill and subframe rust not always captured in a pass result. The clean record gives no evidence of binding calipers, worn coil springs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet brake discs and suspension components at 129,669 miles will be nearing consumable limits regardless of test outcomes. Given the lack of recorded advisories, previous owners appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the absence of flagged minor wear means in-person checks on tyre tread depth and wiper condition remain prudent before purchase.
