2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · PX59 AGY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in November 2024 at 17,723 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum safety standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures over the last several inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2009 registration, averaging approximately 1,043 miles per year. There are significant gaps between test dates, such as the three-year interval between June 2016 (12,771 miles) and September 2019 (15,817 miles), and another two-year gap between 2021 and 2023. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components, the long periods of standing or way use often exposes a vehicle to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Despite the clean records, it is vital to check for brake corrosion and binding calipers, as infrequent use can lead to pitting on the discs. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, require scrutiny for cracking or dry rot irrespective of remaining tread depth. One should also verify the structural integrity of the chassis for surface rust, as moisture retention can occur in stationary vehicles over several years.
