AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until October 2026, indicating a stable roadworthiness status based on four consecutive clean passes. The record shows no recorded defects or advisories since the failure on 22 September 2022, which was immediately rectified and cleared on the same day. This sequence suggests that the vehicle has met the minimum legal safety standards consistently over the last four years of testing. At 112,277 miles, the vehicle has averaged approximately 6,600 miles per annum over its 17-year lifespan. This accumulation rate is consistent with typical domestic usage patterns for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The MOT data does not indicate any significant periods of inactivity or erratic mileage jumps, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular use throughout its recorded history. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that frequently degrade on high-mileage Fords of this era, specifically the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and potential structural corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. While the recent MOT history is clear of advisories, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check of brake lines, fuel hoses, and the exhaust system for signs of perishing or surface oxidation that may not have reached the threshold for a test failure. Buying score: 75. Risk level: Low.

Our Verdict

This 2009 Ford Fiesta presents a reassuringly straightforward recent MOT history, with four consecutive clean passes recorded since late 2022. While its mileage sits above the national average for its age, the lack of recurring advisory items makes it a sensible option for budget-conscious buyers.

When viewing this 2009 Fiesta, thoroughly check the physical service records to verify how regularly the 1242cc petrol engine has been maintained, as MOT certificates only confirm roadworthiness at the time of the test. Pay close attention to common Fiesta weak points such as the suspension arms, headlamp condition, and tyre wear, which feature among the top failure reasons across the model range. Negotiate on price if any consumable items or impending service milestones are due, and ensure all electrical features within the cabin operate correctly.

Running costs for this 1242cc petrol Ford Fiesta are expected to be modest, fitting well within typical UK supermini budgets. Insurance group ratings for this generation are generally low, helping to keep premiums manageable for younger or more experienced drivers alike. Typical maintenance expenses are buffered by wide parts availability, though routine servicing remains essential to keep the car running efficiently.

Inspect the suspension components carefully, looking for signs of wear on the suspension arms which are a common MOT failure point for this model line. Check the condition and alignment of both headlamps for cloudiness or internal moisture, and examine the tyres for adequate tread depth across the entire width. Given the 2022 MOT failure event, verify that any past remedial work was completed to a high standard and inspect the underside for corrosion.

First registered in March 2009, this blue Ford Fiesta is powered by a 1242cc petrol engine and has accumulated 112,277 miles by October 2025. Its MOT record shows a single failure in September 2022 followed immediately by a pass on the same day, with subsequent tests in 2023, 2024, and 2025 all passing without any recorded defects. Against an aggregate model dataset of over 1.5 million vehicles where the average pass rate sits at 77.4%, this example's recent run of trouble-free tests is an encouraging sign.

Across 1,514,006 analysed vehicles, the Ford Fiesta holds an average MOT pass rate of 77.4%, with headlamps, tyres, and suspension arms forming the top failure reasons.
