2009 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · SL09 GJV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, showing a consistent history of passes in recent years. The most recent test in February 2025 at 131,480 miles resulted with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met minimum standards at that time. This follows a single failure in January 2024 which was rectified immediately within twenty-four hours, suggesting the current owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related requirements rather than allowing faults to accumulate. At 131,480 miles over 17 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between March 2022 and November 2022, and another 5,300 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has been used consistently rather than left stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for the health of seals, gaskets, and braking components that can otherwise suffer fromrelated corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for this generation of Fiesta that do not always trigger a failure until they become critical. Given the age and mileage, inspect for developing structural corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches, as these are prone to hidden rust. The mileage also justifies a close check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or cracking, as well as an assessment of brake calipers for binding or uneven disc wear to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the current mechanical condition.
