2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · X3 DCD

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.
