2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · RA59 TYK

The vehicle currently holds a satisfactory roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 1 November 2025. The maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing previous failures, moving from a failed inspection in November 2023 to passing tests in October 2024 and November 2025. This suggests the previous owner has managed the recurring mechanical issues, although the vehicle continues to show typical wear on consumables and suspension components. The recorded mileage of 69,104 miles for a 2009 model is relatively low, indicating light usage over the past seventeen years. However, the MOT record demonstrates that wear is occurring consistently on specific mechanical parts. For instance, the 2022 test noted corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs, while the 2025 test flagged worn and pitted front brake discs. Tyre wear has also been noted, with the 2024 test recording the offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension and structural components. The history indicates recurring wear on sub-frame pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear axles, a finding that requires close attention during a physical inspection. The previous failure in 2023 also highlighted issues with brake imbalance and thin front brake pads. Checking the condition of the exhaust heatsheild and ensuring the battery is securely fastened are also recommended checks.
