2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SJ59 NEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of resolving identified defects. The most recent inspection in March 2026 at 102,567 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and electrical issues have been addressed. This follows a successful pass in May 2025 after a minor failure for a non-functional rear fog lamp was rectified immediately to achieve a passing result on the same day. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between February 2023 at 95,465 miles and March 2026 at 102,567 miles, the car covered 7,102 miles, suggesting a steady and low-intensity usage pattern. While the total mileage of 102,567 miles is relatively low for the age, the age of the vehicle means that rubber-based components may be degrading regardless of distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems based on the historical advisories. The May 2024 test flagged thin front brake pads on both sides and play in the nearside front inner track rod end. While these items were likely replaced given the subsequent passes, the buyer should verify current pad thickness and ensure the steering components are free of further play. The 2023 report of an offside rear tyre worn on the edge suggests potential alignment issues in the past which warrants a check of the wear patterns on all four tyres.
