2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YK59 FZP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having achieved a clean pass in November 2025 at 50,270 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend following a failed test in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed several defects, the lack of advisories in the most recent inspection suggests the previous owner addressed the flagged mechanical and safety issues before the latest test. At 17 years of age, the recorded mileage of 50,270 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent over the years, with only 5,208 miles driven between the 2022 and 2025 tests. While low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it significantly increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to age and long periods of inactivity or light use. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre condition based on the 2024 failures. The tester flagged a nearside front tyre worn to the limit and an offside rear tyre with perishing shoulders, which are classic signs of age-related rubber rot rather than mileage-based wear. Furthermore, the rear axle swivel pins and bushes were noted as slightly worn in 2024. A physical inspection is required to ensure these bushes have not developed cracks or excessive movement, as perished bushings can compromise handling and cause uneven tyre wear.
