2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · DA08 AAJ

The Ford Fiesta last passed its MOT on 7 September 2021 at 145,399 miles with no defects recorded, confirming it met legal standards at that time. The maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, with no mechanical advisories or component-related failures logged. Nearly five years have elapsed without a further test relative to today's date of 20 July 2026, so current roadworthiness remains unverified by official data. Mileage progression fits a typical 18-year service life. The June 2018 test at 117,829 miles preceded a 22 June 2019 pass at 131,523 miles, a 13,694-mile annual rate. The next entry on 1 September 2021 shows 145,384 miles, equating to roughly 6,300 miles per year across an extended gap shaped by the pandemic MOT suspension. The record is sparse, containing only five tests and zero noted defects, which suggests either disciplined upkeep or limited tester scrutiny. The September 2021 sequence flags two failed tests on 1 September at 145,384 miles and 7 September at 145,398 miles, both with no defects recorded, before a same-day pass at 145,399 miles. Failures absent logged faults point to administrative or identification anomalies rather than worn parts, yet the buyer must extract the full DVSA failure codes. Given the paper-clean trail, a physical inspection should target age-related deterioration: suspension bushes, coil springs, brake calipers and discs, exhaust corrosion, and structural integrity around sills and subframes. Previous owners kept annual use modest and secured passes without advisories, but the lapse since 2021 demands caution. A qualified technician should confirm absence of binding brakes, hidden structural rust, and emission compliance before road use.
