2008 FORD FIESTA1.4L Petrol

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 June 2025 at 57,699 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 30 May 2025 and 24 May 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely due to administrative errors or minor issues resolved immediately during the same visit. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2008 model, averaging roughly 3,206 miles per year. Between 2 June 2023 at 53,351 miles and 4 June 2025 at 57,699 miles, the car covered only 4,348 miles over two years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant time stationary or has been used for very short journeys. Low-use vehicles often suffer from degradation that MOT tests may not immediately flag. A buyer should specifically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check for binding calipers caused by inactivity. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, can perish or crack due to age rather than wear. Verify the condition of the engine oil and coolant to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing without fluid changes. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, as low-mileage older cars are often kept in environments where moisture can trap against the metal.
