2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · OB54 OLY

The 2009 Ford Fiesta shows a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 4 December 2025 at 71,357 miles, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test came one day after a failure on 3 December 2025 at 71,354 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects against that failure, a pattern repeated when the car failed then passed on the same day in 2024. Such same-day fail-and-pass cycles with zero recorded defects typically point to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical fault, and no advisories or faults appear anywhere in the five-year record. Mileage sits at 71,357 miles for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,200 miles per year and confirming light use. The records show steady, low annual accumulation: 57,168 miles in November 2023, 64,783 at the November 2024 test, and 71,354 by December 2025. No large gaps or sudden jumps exist between entries, and the sparse clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumable replacement or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the possibility that long periods of low use have allowed corrosion or perishing of rubber components unseen by the MOT tester. The repeated same-day failures with no defects recorded warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted data or clerical anomaly. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions have drawn no flags across the record, but standing time common to low-mileage cars can hide underbody rust. Verify the subframe, sills, and brake calipers for binding or seizing before purchase.
