2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DA08 AAN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-11-28 assessment at 57,007 miles. The absence of failures or advisories in this period suggests consistent maintenance, though the 2022-12-02 test recorded a failure without specific defects, raising questions about its cause. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the data, and the vehicle’s low mileage of 57,007 miles—approximately 3,167 miles annually—indicates minimal usage, which may mitigate wear on components like brakes and suspension. The mileage progression shows a gradual increase, with the 2022-12-02 test at 49,734 miles followed by a 2023-12-15 test at 55,460 miles, reflecting a jump of 5,726 miles over 12 months. This suggests the car was driven more actively in 2023, though the 2024-12-04 test at 56,338 miles shows a slower accumulation of 878 miles in the subsequent year. The sparse MOT history prior to 2022, combined with the lack of defects in recent tests, implies either meticulous upkeep or limited exposure to harsh conditions. However, the low annual mileage could also indicate periods of inactivity, potentially affecting fluid systems and rubber components. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which may show signs of age despite the clean MOT record. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but the low mileage warrants checking for corrosion in the exhaust system and body panels, as stagnant use can accelerate rust. Additionally, the 2022 failure, though unexplained, should prompt scrutiny of the vehicle’s electrical systems and emission controls to ensure no underlying issues were overlooked. The MOT data does not indicate structural damage or major mechanical faults, but the car’s age and usage pattern necessitate careful evaluation of its overall condition.
