2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · AA08 PCZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on February 10, 2026. Despite this pass, the maintenance trend shows an inconsistent pattern of immediate failures followed by successful retests. In the two most recent testing cycles, January 2025 and February 2026, the vehicle failed the initial inspection but passed on the same day. This suggests that specific defects were identified and rectified only upon failing, rather than being proactively maintained to a passing standard between annual tests. At 85,651 miles, this 2008 Fiesta has averaged approximately 4,758 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average for a vehicle of eighteen years. The record shows a consistent usage pattern between February 2024 and February 2026, with tests being performed at regular annual intervals. However, the lack of specific mileage data for each individual entry makes it impossible to determine the exact rate of wear or identify if the car sat stationary for long periods between inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify the components that caused the failures in 2025 and 2026, as the provided data does not list the specific reasons for these defects. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, attention should be paid to structural corrosion in the sills, wing arches, and underside pans, which often degrades over time regardless of distance driven. Additionally rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake lines should be checked for cracking or perish common in low-mileage vehicles. Buying score: 52 Risk level: Medium.
