2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ST09 HHG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data from the last five years. The most recent test on 25 May 2022 at 96,370 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car was in good condition at that time. While a failure was noted on 25 October 2021, the vehicle passed the retest the following day, suggesting a minor issue was addressed immediately rather than representing chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,669 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2020, the car covered 10,481 miles, showing consistent low-level usage. However, there is a significant gap in records between the May 2022 test and the current date of June 2026. The vehicle has not undergone a recorded MOT in four years. This long interval often leads to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, hoses, and tyre sidewalls, which perish regardless of the low mileage recorded. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components. Given the age and the long gap between tests, check for corrosion corrosion on the sills and wheel arches where moisture traps. The brakes should be tested for binding or seized calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for extended periods. Because the last recorded test is four years old, a thorough check of the fluid levels and belt condition is essential to ensure no hidden leaks have developed since the 2022 inspection.
