2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SA09 GYF

The 2009 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy, with the most recent DVSA MOT on 24 November 2025 at 75 077 miles passing without defects. The preceding test four days earlier failed, yet recorded no faults, suggesting a clerical issue rather than a genuine mechanical problem. Overall, the maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring issues flagged over the past five years. Mileage growth has been steady and modest. From 66 725 miles in November 2022 to 69 284 miles in November 2023, the vehicle accumulated 2 559 miles. The next year added 2 900 miles, and the final year added 3 000 miles, averaging roughly 3 000 miles per annum. This low, regular usage aligns with the vehicle’s 17‑year age and indicates that previous owners likely kept up with routine servicing rather than allowing significant wear to build. When inspecting the car in person, focus on the consumables and wear‑prone components that are not captured by the MOT. Check tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and wheel alignment. Examine the brake system for pad thickness, disc condition, and any signs of uneven wear or binding. Inspect the suspension bushings, coil springs, and shock absorbers for leaks or damage. Verify the steering linkage for play and the exhaust system for corrosion or loose fittings. Finally, confirm that the battery, engine coolant, and oil levels are within spec, and look for any structural rust or panel damage that could compromise safety.
