2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE08 ACJ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of mechanical inconsistency. The most recent inspection on 18 November 2025 at 47,397 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues causing previous failures have been successfully addressed. While the history shows a pattern of immediate rectification after failures, the subsequent clean passes suggest the car is currently maintained to a functional operational standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 2,633 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between March 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered 4,825 miles in nearly eleven months, followed by another 6,498 miles in the following nine months. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing often increase the risk of rubber perish, brake fluid degradation, and surface corrosion on the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that triggered the failures in 2024 and 2025, although the provided record does not list the specific fault codes. The recurring nature of failing and then passing within 24 hours suggests issues related to easily rectified items such as light bulbs, wipers, or minor fluid leaks. Given the age and low mileage, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust in the sills and wing arches is essential, as these areas suffer from time-related decay regardless of miles driven.
