2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DV08 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean record of passes over the last five years. The most recent test on 29 April 2023 at 143,381 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This suggests the car was in a roadworthy condition at that time, though the vehicle has now been without a recorded MOT for over three years relative to the current date of 14 July 2026. Mileage accumulation has been consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 7,966 miles per year. The record shows a steady increase from 124,942 miles in January 2020 to 143,381 miles in April 2023. A brief failure occurred on 22 December 2020 at 128,423 miles, but the car passed a retest just one month later with no listed defects, indicating a minor or quickly rectified issue. The absence of advisories across multiple tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. While the data suggests a well-maintained car, the three-year gap in testing since April 2023 is a significant concern. Long periods of standing often lead to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection must prioritise the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as corrosion is common in 2008 Fiestas but may not have been flagged if the car was not tested recently. Check for suspension bush wear and oil leaks from the engine and gearbox, as these components typically degrade at 140,000 miles regardless of previous MOT outcomes.
