2009 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YY59 DDF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 78,187 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. While there was a recorded failure in October 2024 at 74,117 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed and rectified the necessary repairs without delay. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 78,187 miles represents a low annual usage pattern of approximately 4,600 miles. The data shows consistent intervals between annual tests, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between the September 2022 and October 2023 tests. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, however, long periods of standing stationary can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which are not always captured in standard MOT inspections. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as vehicles of this era are frequently prone to corrosion. Despite the clean record in the recent tests, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at suspension bushes and coil springs which may perish over time regardless of mileage. Additionally, check the brake discs for excessive pitting or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust and sticking brakes if they are not used frequently enough.
