2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · WF59 AAV

The 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-22 confirming no defects at 105,243 miles. A prior failure on 2025-09-15, also at 105,197 miles, recorded no specific issues, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor technical anomaly resolved between tests. Subsequent MOTs from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passes with no defects, indicating the vehicle has maintained compliance without significant mechanical intervention. The absence of recorded faults in the latest test implies the car is currently roadworthy, though the tight interval between the two 2025 MOTs raises questions about the necessity of repeated inspections. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,191 miles annually. The 2024-09-04 test at 100,218 miles shows a 2,793-mile gap from the 2023-09-04 test, reflecting normal annual usage. However, the 2025 tests at 105,197 and 105,243 miles occurred just seven days apart, covering only 46 miles, which is unusually low. This could indicate infrequent use or an expedited retest following the failure. The lack of defects across all tests suggests the vehicle has not exhibited recurring issues, though the sparse data limits insight into long-term maintenance patterns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting suspension components, such as worn bushes or coil springs, and brake systems, including corrosion on discs or binding calipers, which may not trigger MOT failures until advanced. The exhaust system and structural integrity, particularly underbody corrosion, warrant scrutiny given the car’s age. While the MOT history shows no critical faults, the 2025 failure without recorded defects highlights the importance of a physical assessment to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond documented tests. Regular maintenance records, if available, would further clarify the owner’s care habits.
