2009 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 90 Tdci 1.6L Heavy oil · SY09 RWO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The January 2026 test at 156,965 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in December 2024 at 150,280 miles, which suggests the vehicle has maintained its mechanical integrity over the last two years. While the record shows intermittent failures, such as the November 2024 test at 149,605 miles and the March 2023 test at 134,014 miles, these appear to be isolated incidents rather than a pattern of worsening mechanical decline. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 9,233 miles per year. The data shows steady usage without significant periods of inactivity or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. The gap between the May 2021 test at 125,577 miles and the March 2023 test at 134,014 miles indicates a slightly lower usage period, but the overall trajectory remains typical for a 17-year-old diesel engine. The recent progression from 150,280 miles in late 2024 to 156,965 miles in early 2026 confirms the car remains in active, regular service. Because the MOT history lacks specific advisory notes or detailed failure descriptions, a physical inspection must focus on high-wear components typical for a Fiesta of this age and mileage. A buyer should prioritize checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as well as inspecting the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers. Given the age, a thorough examination of the underside for structural corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system is necessary. Although the recent passes are clean, the previous failures suggest that the vehicle requires attentive maintenance to address minor faults before they escalate into significant mechanical issues.
