Ford Fiesta Titanium 90 Tdci (2009)
2009 Ford Fiesta Titanium 90 Tdci
CarHunch analysed 105 real MOT records for the 2009 Ford Fiesta Titanium 90 Tdci. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2009 Fiesta Titanium 90 TDCi is significantly less reliable than the average UK car: only 39.1% pass their MOT first time, compared to the 80% national average. At 107,968 miles on average, these vehicles are seeing heavy use for their age, and the 0.78 average failures per test suggest recurring mechanical issues rather than one-off problems.
The lack of dangerous defects on record is a small positive, but the real concern is the consistency of failure—almost six in ten of these cars need remedial work before passing test. If you're considering buying one, budget for an independent pre-purchase inspection and expect repair costs to be a regular feature of ownership.
What to check before buying a 2009 Ford Fiesta Titanium 90 Tdci
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
