2009 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · YR09 DWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the September 2025 MOT test at 95,054 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable pattern of structural corrosion and specific component wear rather than a rapidly deteriorating mechanical condition. The most recent test flagged a slight play in the nearside front suspension arm ball joint and corrosion on the rear and front sub-frames, alongside corrosion on the nearside rear coil spring. The recorded mileage of 95,054 miles for a 2009 model, approximately seventeen years old, indicates relatively light usage. The testing history is consistent, with the vehicle passing subsequent inspections in October 2024 and October 2023. This consistent passing history suggests that while specific cosmetic or minor component issues were noted, the core mechanical integrity remained sufficient to pass regulatory checks. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system, specifically checking the nearside front arm ball joint and the nearside track rod end ball joint for excessive play. The nearside rear coil spring has been noted as corroded across multiple tests, which requires attention. Furthermore, the sub-frames, particularly the rear sub-frame, have a history of corrosion, and this area should be thoroughly inspected for signs of serious structural weakening. The history also indicates recurring issues with the front brake discs, which were noted as worn and pitted during the 2023 inspection. An oil leak was also noted in the 2021 and 2024 records, though it was deemed not excessive at the time. These findings suggest that while the vehicle is currently fit for road, attention to the suspension components and the noted structural rust points are necessary for long-term reliability.
