2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · YH59 HCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 17 November 2025 at 143,377 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test only two days before a retest, suggesting the previous owner only addressed specific defects when forced by the testing process rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 143,377 miles, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year since its inception, which aligns with typical usage for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The data shows a significant gap in testing between May 2023 and November 2024, where the car covered only 365 miles in 18 months. However, the mileage increased sharply by 6,637 miles in the following year between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests. This shift in usage patterns often accelerates accelerated wear on rubber components and suspension bushings. The lack of any recorded advisories in the most recent tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear wheel arches, as these are common failure points for this generation of Fiesta. Given the mileage, checking the condition of the shock absorbers for leaks and the integrity of the coil springs is essential to ensure the clean record does not mask underlying mechanical fatigue.
