2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · SB09 FFM

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a roadworthy status as of the most recent test, passing without defect on 7 September 2022 at 149,768 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. Two earlier failures on 5 September 2022 and 29 July 2020 show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than component failure. Mileage sat at 127,234 on 29 July 2020 and rose to 142,467 by 23 August 2021, then 149,768 by September 2022. That equates to roughly 8,800 miles per year, typical for a seventeen-year-old car. The record shows a clean sweep of passes between the two zero-defect failures, with no rapid accumulation or standing gaps that would raise consumable wear concerns beyond normal expectation. A buyer should still inspect structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the test data offers no visibility of these areas beyond pass confirmation. Brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant a physical check for binding or wear despite the absence of advisories. The twin zero-defect failures suggest the vehicle changed hands or was presented late; previous owners kept basic MOT compliance but left no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond the minimum. Given the 2022 test now sits nearly four years old relative to today's date, a fresh MOT and independent inspection remain essential before purchase. The high but age-consistent mileage means clutch, exhaust emissions, and drivetrain seals should be assessed for fatigue not captured in the historical record.
