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.

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.
