2008 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the latest inspection data. The most recent MOT conducted on 27 February 2026 at 67,438 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets all legal standards. While a failure was noted earlier in March 2025 at 59,766 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the necessary repairs promptly rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,747 miles per year. Between May 2023 and February 2026, the car covered 13,742 miles, representing a period of slightly higher usage compared to its historical average. This consistent low-mileage pattern generally suggests the engine and drivetrain components have undergone less wear than typical-age counterparts. However, such low-use vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber and fluids, which are not always captured by the MOT test unless they reach a failure point. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most affected by age and low-mileage standing. Given the lack of advisories in the most recent tests, the structural integrity and suspension appear sound, but a manual check for surface corrosion on the sills and wheel arches remains essential for a Fiesta of this era. Inspect the brake system for cracks in the hoses and check for seized calipers, as long periods of inactivity can cause these components to seize regardless of the low mileage recorded.
