2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YG59 FDK

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑06‑30 at 92,859 miles, confirming it meets the minimum roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend shows improvement; after a comprehensive failure on 2025‑07‑08 the subsequent test in June 2026 reveals only minor advisories such as coil‑spring corrosion, a discoloured rear direction indicator and slight play in the anti‑roll bar linkage. The repairs applied after the 2025 failure appear to have resolved the more serious defects, indicating a stabilising condition. Mileage accumulation remains low for a 2009 model, yet the recent increase of 3,634 miles between July 2025 and June 2026 suggests a recent rise in usage. The gap between the July 2025 test and the June 2026 test is almost a year, while earlier intervals show occasional lapses of up to 15 months (e.g., between March 2023 and July 2024). Overall the vehicle has logged roughly 5,500 miles per year, which is modest for its age. A buyer should inspect the coil springs for corrosion on both axles, examine the rear suspension component mounts for rust, and test the track‑rod end, anti‑roll bar linkage and steering linkage for excessive play. Tyre condition is a priority: edge wear, cracking and perishing are evident on all four tyres, and all wheels show rim distortion. Electrical systems such as the rear direction indicator, registration‑plate lamp and stop lamp have a history of failure, while the exhaust shows deterioration and headlamp aim was low on the failed test. Checking these components in person will reveal whether the remedial work was thorough and whether further attention is required.
