Our Verdict

This is a highly recommended example for

Given the very low mileage for a 2009 vehicle, your primary focus should be on how the car has been stored and used. Extremely low mileage can sometimes lead to 'dry rot' in rubber components; for instance, the 2025 MOT noted cracking on the front tyres. Check all other rubber seals, hoses, and belts for signs of perishing.

When negotiating, ask for evidence of regular oil changes. Even if a car isn't driven much, engine oil degrades over time due to moisture buildup. Ensure that any service history provided aligns with the low mileage recorded in the MOT tests, and check that the tyres are of an appropriate age for the vehicle's condition.

With a 1.4L petrol engine, this Fiesta should sit in a relatively affordable insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine variant is generally efficient for urban driving, though actual MPG will depend on how much the vehicle is driven.

Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are typically low due to the vast availability of parts. However, because this vehicle has been driven so little, you may encounter costs related to replacing age-related items like batteries, tyres, or suspension bushes rather than wear-and-tear from high mileage.

Specifically inspect the tyres; the 2025 MOT record highlighted cracking/perishing on the front pair, so ensure the current set is fresh and not showing age-related degradation. Although this specific vehicle has had no failures, the model aggregate data suggests checking the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs, as these are common failure points for the Fiesta range.

Additionally, because the mileage is so low (17,730 miles), inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can occur when a car sits idle for long periods. Check the battery health and ensure the engine starts promptly, as low-use vehicles can suffer from electrical drain.

This 2009 silver Ford Fiesta features an unusually low mileage of just 17,730 miles as of June 2026. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, with no mechanical failures recorded. While the mileage is significantly lower than the model average, the vehicle appears to have been used sparingly.

The Ford Fiesta shows a 77.6% average MOT pass rate across the model aggregate, with common issues involving headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
