Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Priority should be given to a professional underside inspection. The MOT history specifically highlights corrosion on the front sub-frame and lower suspension arms; you need to determine if these are approaching a failure point. Check for evidence of recent brake work, as the pads have been flagged as wearing thin (3mm to 4mm) across multiple tests since 2025.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the imminent need for new brake pads and the potential cost of treating or replacing corroded chassis components. Ensure any promised repairs to the 'perishing' rear tyres or corrosion issues are completed and documented before purchase.
The 1388cc petrol engine is typically economical for city driving and offers low insurance group costs. Annual road tax for this era of Fiesta is generally affordable, making it a low-cost entry point for a used car.
However, maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for this model. The MOT record shows recurring issues with the exhaust and brake system corrosion, suggesting that the owner will face increasing expenditure on structural and preventative maintenance to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Focus your inspection on the vehicle's underside. Specifically, look at the front sub-frame and the lower suspension arms, which were both flagged for corrosion in the 2026 MOT. Examine the brake hoses and pipes, particularly the ferrules, as corrosion here has been noted since 2024.
Check the offside rear tyre for the cracking and perishing mentioned in the 2024 and 2026 records. Finally, verify the operation of all exterior lighting, as the vehicle failed its most recent test due to a non-working offside rear stop lamp.
This 2009 blue Ford Fiesta has recorded 108,421 miles. The MOT history reveals a concerning trend of structural corrosion, with the sub-frame, brake pipes, and suspension arms all flagged in recent years. While it passed its June 2026 test, the volume of advisories suggests a vehicle showing its age in areas that can be expensive to rectify.
The Ford Fiesta is generally regarded as reliable, with an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across over 1.5 million analysed vehicles.
