2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · ML08 ACO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT test result. The most recent test conducted on 13 July 2024 at 108,085 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety systems met the required standards at that time. Despite a failure in May 2023 at 100,363 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults rather than allowing them to persist between tests. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Between June 2021 at 81,116 miles and July 2024 at 108,085 miles, the car covered 26,969 miles over three years. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly, which is often beneficial for seals and mechanical components compared to long periods ofກັບ. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests is standard, showing a consistent adherence to annual testing requirements. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these are common failure points on older Fiesta. While recent records are clean, the age of the vehicle increases potential corrosion on the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust mounting points. Given the mileage, the condition of the rubber elements such as suspension bushes and CV boots should be verified for cracking or tearing. The lack of recorded advisories in the last two tests suggests the brakes and tyres were in good condition, but a manual check for binding calipers or thin disc edges remains prudent for a car of this age.
