2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · OV09 MBU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The MOT conducted on 2 September 2025 at 46,978 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was identified and immediately rectified prior to the retest. Since that period, the car has maintained a clean record without further advisories or failures reported. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,763 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 28,896 miles and July 2024 at 37,700 miles, the car covered only 8,804 miles over two years. The more recent jump of 9,278 miles between July 2024 and September 2025 indicates a slight increase in annual usage. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity or very low-distance use often lead to issues related to aged rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than mileage-related wear. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or perished and check the tyres for dry rot despite deep tread. The brake system should be checked for seizing or pitting, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from seized calipers. Additionally, a thorough check of the structural integrity around the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure that corrosion has not compromised the chassis despite the clean mechanical history.
