Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a buyer seeking l
Given the very low mileage of 33,960 miles, your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has had regular oil changes despite the infrequent use. Low-mileage petrol engines can sometimes suffer from moisture buildup if driven only on short trips, so check for any signs of sludge or unusual engine noise.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of service history to supplement the MOT records. Because this is a 1.2L petrol model, ensure the timing belt (if applicable to this specific engine variant) has been replaced according to the manufacturer's age-based intervals, regardless of the low mileage.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for economy, making it a cost-effective choice for urban driving. Expect relatively low insurance groups and straightforward maintenance costs due to the vast availability of parts for this Fiesta generation.
Annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage, but for a typical driver, the combination of a small engine and low tax band makes this a budget-friendly option. Estimated annual costs typically cover fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance.
While the MOT history for this specific vehicle is clean of mechanical failures, you should be aware of common Ford Fiesta issues. Check the suspension components, specifically the coil springs, as this is a top failure reason for this model in aggregate data.
Inspect the exhaust system and headlamps, as these are also frequent failure points for the Fiesta range. On this specific blue vehicle, check the condition of the nearside and offside mirrors, as the 2025 MOT noted slight damage to both.
This 2009 Ford Fiesta (PE59USJ) presents with significantly lower mileage than average for its age, having covered just 33,960 miles by late 2025. The MOT history is remarkably consistent, showing no defects recorded between 2021 and 2023. The most recent 2025 test passed with only minor cosmetic advisories regarding the wing mirrors.
Aggregate data from over 1.5 million vehicles shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate for this model, with common issues relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
