2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · OV59 GCX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent test in April 2022 at 106,902 miles resulted in a pass immediately following a failure just two days prior. This suggests the previous owner was willing to rectify identified faults to meet legal standards, but the lack of any MOT data since April 2022 means the vehicle is currently operating with an expired certificate, which leaves its current mechanical condition entirely unverified. At 106,902 miles over 17 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 6,288 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-intensity usage for an older car. There is a significant gap in recorded mileage between January 2021 and April 2022, during which the car covered only 4,743 miles. This slow pace of travel combined with the vehicle's age increases the likelihood of experiencing age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, dry seals, or seized brake calipers, which often occur when vehicles remain stationary regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and lower suspension components. Given the age of the chassis and the intermittent usage, checking for corrosion on the sills, rear wheel arches, and trailing arms is critical. Because the MOT history shows no recorded advisories or specific failures, the buyer must manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks that the tester missed. Additionally, examine the brake discs for pitting or heavy rust to ensure the low-mileage history has not led to neglect of the braking system.
