2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · PE09 ADO

The 2009 Ford Fiesta exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent July 2025 inspection at 62,887 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and adherence to safety standards. No advisories or critical failures were flagged, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained over its 17-year lifespan. The absence of recurring faults in the record implies no systemic mechanical degradation requiring urgent intervention. The vehicle’s mileage of 62,887 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 3,699 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern suggests infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. Notably, the 2021 test at 57,194 miles showed a 1,955-mile increase by 2022, followed by gradual annual increments. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage may mask wear in systems not regularly engaged, such as drive shafts or steering components, warranting closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for stiffness or dry rot, particularly in bushes and coil springs, given the low usage. Brake systems should be checked for corrosion or binding, as prolonged inactivity can lead to seized calipers or warped discs. Structural integrity remains unassessed in the record, so a visual inspection for rust in underbody or chassis areas is advisable. The MOT history confirms no immediate risks, but the vehicle’s age and mileage profile necessitate a thorough pre-purchase check to verify component functionality beyond recorded tests.
