2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · SY59 BUW

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently critical, showing a clear worsening trend in structural integrity. The most recent test on May 7, 2026 at 104,907 miles resulted in a comprehensive failure due to extensive structural corrosion. While the car passed once in February 2024, the subsequent 2026 failure reveals significant degradation of the suspension mounting areas and chassis legs, indicating that the vehicle has reached the end of its structural life. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,171 miles per year over 17 years. However, the low annual mileage has not prevented significant decay; in fact, it suggests the vehicle may have suffered from age-related oxidation. Between June 2022 at 95,289 miles and May 2026 at 104,907 miles, the car covered under 10,000 miles, yet it experienced multiple mechanical failures including broken springs, exhaust leaks, and suspension faults. A prospective buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the underside and inner artwork arches, as the May 2026ulation identifies severe corrosion on the offside front suspension mounting and inner artwork arch that significantly reduces structural strength. The braking system also requires urgent attention due to corroded brake hose ferrules on all corners, which are likely to fail. Additionally, the history of coolant leaks and perished tyres suggests that rubber components and cooling systems have been neglected despite the low mileage.
