2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SA09 WHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test in October 2024 at 130,155 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following a failure just one mile prior. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative error or a sensor calibration issue that was rectified immediately, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The overall trend indicates the car has maintained a functional operational standard throughout its recent history. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2023, the car covered 15,415 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The interval between November 2023 and October 2024 saw an additional 14,943 miles, which aligns with the previous annual average. This predictable accumulation reduces the likelihood of unexpected strain on the drivetrain and engine components, though the high age of the vehicle means rubber components and plastic housings remain subject to age-related degradation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this generation of Ford Fiesta that do not always trigger an MOT advisory until they become critical. Examine the rear wheel arches and sills for structural corrosion, which often develops over seventeen years. Given the 130,000-mile mark, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perishing or excessive wear. While the MOT record is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at the brake lines and calipers to ensure there is no significant pitting or fluid leakage despite the recent pass.
