2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · PK09 KUD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent test on 15 August 2025 at 50,190 miles. While the record shows immediate failures on the same date in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent passes with no recorded defects indicate that identified issues were rectified promptly. This pattern suggests an owner who is proactive in addressing MOT failures to maintain compliance rather than allowing mechanical degradation to persist over time. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,952 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 45,531 miles and the August 2025 test at 50,190 miles, the car covered 4,659 miles over two years. This consistent low-frequency usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing often invite age-related issues unrelated to mileage, such as the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid-related oxidation. A buyer should focus physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of suspension components. Given the age and low mileage, the tester should check for corrosion on the sills and subframes, which are common failure points for vehicles of this era. Additionally, inspect the braking system for seized calipers or pitted discs, as low-use vehicles frequently suffer from surface rust and binding. Checking the condition of suspension bushes for cracking is also essential to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in brittle material failure.
