2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SA09 LBG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the recent years. The most recent test on 11 December 2023 at 58,775 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car met minimum standards at that time. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2020, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical or structural failures. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,775 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,457 miles per annum. The data shows consistent usage, with only 1,426 miles driven between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 2,490 miles between December 2021 and December 2022. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues not captured by a standard MOT test. The single failure on 6 December 2021 at 54,859 miles is the only anomaly in an otherwise clean record. Although the specific defect was not listed in the provided data, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor issue was rectified quickly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points, as high-age vehicles often suffer from rust regardless of mileage. Additionally, checking the state of the tyres, brakes, and suspension bushes is essential, as these parts can perish out and crack when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
