2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · MV08 ADO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 September 2025 at 89,274 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent pattern of passing tests without any noted advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,960 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 63,295 to 77,215 miles. A further increase of 12,059 miles occurred by the September 2025 test. This suggests the car has transitioned from very light use to more regular commuting in recent years. The lack of recorded defects or advisories across the 2023, 2024, and 2025 tests is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, the absence of any flagged wear on consumables suggests a highly maintained car or a very lenient testing regime. A buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion on the sills and chassis, as structural rust often develops on low-mileage older Fiestas regardless of the MOT outcome. Inspect the condition of the rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, to ensure they have not perished due to age. Check for brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle spends long periods stationary. Verify the service history to ensure the oil and coolant were changed regularly despite the low annual mileage.
