2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SF09 AAV

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on March 2026 at 112,331 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has passed without recorded defects for the last three inspections. Although a failure occurred in January 2024, the immediate re-test pass the following day suggests that the identified issue was rectified promptly, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining compliance by the previous owner. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 112,331 miles represents an average usage of approximately 6,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK driving patterns. The data shows consistent usage intervals, for example, the 2,500 miles covered between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 3,011 miles between January 2025 and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is driven frequently enough to prevent the dry rot or degradation of seals and components often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age on this specific model, despite the clean MOT history. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check of the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is essential, as MOT tests only flag structural rust once it becomes significant. While the record shows no recurring suspension faults, the rubber bushes and coil springs should be inspected for cracking or per, as these often degrade before they trigger a test failure.
