2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · OY59 RYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in August 2025 with 128,026 miles and no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of annual compliance despite occasional failures that appear to have been rectified prior to subsequent tests. The lack of advisories on the latest inspection suggests that the vehicle is currently operating in a sound mechanical state and that previous owners have addressed issues before they escalated into structural or safety failures. At 17 years of age, the recorded mileage of 128,026 miles represents an annual average of approximately 7,500 miles, which aligns with typical usage for an older city hatchback. The data shows a significant increase of 5,852 miles between the August 2023 and August 2024 tests, followed by another 155 miles in the year leading to August 2025. This consistent usage pattern suggests the car is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which generally helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and brake caliper seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and suspension mounting, as these are common areas for corrosion on Fiestas of this era. While the recent record is clean, the failures in August 2023 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to minor out-of-test issues that require periodic attention. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and the surface condition of the brake discs to ensure the relatively low mileage has not resulted in excessive pitting or corrosion on the braking system.
