2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SJ09 TYD

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 August 2025 at 167,392 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves passes following immediate failures in previous years. While the record shows failures in both 2024 and 2025, the subsequent re-tests indicate the owner is proactive in addressing and rectifying defects to maintain legal compliance. At 17 years old with 167,392 miles, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 9,847 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical national averages for a small hatchback of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 7,000 miles driven between July 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,000 miles between August 2024 and August 2025. This regular progression suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and seized brake components. A buyer should focus on the specific areas that caused the 2024 and 2025 failures, although the provided summary does not list the specific mechanical codes for those faults. Given the high mileage and age, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and chassis integrity is essential to check for structural corrosion, which is common on this Fiesta generation. The buyer should also examine for signs of binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs, as these are frequent points of failure on high-mileage older vehicles.
