2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · NX09 WPR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 5, 2026 at 261,016 miles. While the most recent test involved a failure due to a non-functional nearside rear stop lamp, the subsequent rectification indicates basic electrical maintenance. The overall mechanical trend appears volatile due to a major structural failure in late 2024, though the vehicle returned to a clean test shortly thereafter, suggesting repairs were made to the chassis. The car has covered a significant mileage of 261,016 miles over 17 years, averaging approximately 15,300 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage recorded between the October 2024 and May 2025 tests, where the vehicle covered 95,485 miles in just under seven months. This rapid accumulation suggests high-intensity motorway use or commercial application, which accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to lower mileage examples. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the vehicle's structural integrity. The October 2024 failure at 156,702 miles identified excessive corrosion on both the offside and nearside rear sills, which compromised structural rigidity. It is vital to verify that these areas were treated with professional welding repairs and that new rust is not spreading from the body mounting points. Additionally, the rear axle swivel pins and bushes were flagged as worn during that same test; given the high mileage, these suspension components should be checked for play or further degradation.
