2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · WN09 HTG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in the oversight of consumable components. While it passed the most recent February 2026 test at 58,189 miles, the history reveals a' pattern of failures related to tyres and brakes. The transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to multiple defects in the following years suggests that preventative maintenance has been neglected in favor of reactive repairs. At approximately 17 years old, this Ford Fiesta has covered an exceptionally low mileage for its age, averaging roughly 3,400 miles per year. However, there is a notable increase in usage between March 2024 (43,961 miles) and March 2025 (54,685 miles), where over 10,000 miles were clocked in a single year. This period of higher activity likely contributed to the rapid deterioration of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the subsequent tyre issues appearing despite the low overall reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the history consistently flags perishing, cracking, and structural bulges across multiple tests. The failure in March 2025 due to a sidewall bulge is particularly concerning as it indicates structural failure caused by age-related degradation rather than simple wear. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored since 2023. Given the low mileage, this corrosion is likely due to the vehicle sitting stationary, which can lead to seized calipers or poor braking performance if not addressed regularly.
