2008 Ford Fiesta Zetec Blue 75 1.2L Other · NJZ 4089

The most recent MOT test on 2025-09-14 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 71,099 miles. This reflects a stable maintenance trend over the past two years, as all tests—including the duplicate entry for February 2024—have passed without fail. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical issues, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear. The most recent test occurred just over ten months ago, which is within the standard MOT validity window, though a pre-purchase inspection remains essential to verify current condition. The recorded mileage of 71,099 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 3,950 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity, which could impact components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake hydraulic systems due to prolonged static loading. Notably, there is a 14-month gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests, with no intermediate mileage data to confirm whether the vehicle was driven or stored. Such gaps can obscure potential wear patterns, particularly in rubber seals, battery health, or fuel system integrity. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, including the condition of rear wheel bearings and front/rear suspension bushes, as these are common wear items not always flagged in a standard MOT. The brakes, while not failed in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, for signs of corrosion or fatigue cracks—common in vehicles of this age with low mileage but prolonged exposure to environmental factors. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are intact, so a thorough visual and functional examination is advised.
