2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AD08 AKZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-12-13 at 61,502 miles resulted in a fail, though no defects were recorded. Subsequent tests in 2021 and 2020 also showed fails without recorded issues, indicating inconsistent compliance. The lack of specific defect details in these failures raises concerns about the reliability of the MOT history. While the 2021-12-15 pass at 55,652 miles showed no issues, the pattern of repeated fails without recorded faults suggests potential oversights in prior inspections or unresolved underlying problems. Roadworthiness remains uncertain without further diagnostic verification. The vehicle’s mileage of 61,502 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 3,417 miles annually, significantly below typical usage. Notably, the 2020-12-14 pass at 54,473 miles was followed by a fail just six days later at 54,461 miles, a minimal mileage change that implies either a rushed or incomplete test. The 2021-12-15 fail at 55,652 miles coincided with a 1,189-mile increase from the prior 2020 test, but no defects were logged. This sparse data offers limited insight into mechanical wear, though the low mileage may suggest periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion or component stiffness. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as repeated MOT fails without defects may mask hidden issues. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural faults in the history does not preclude the need for a thorough check of the chassis and underbody, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Additionally, verifying the functionality of the braking system and suspension components is critical, as these are common failure points in older vehicles. The MOT record’s lack of detail necessitates an independent assessment to confirm the car’sTrue condition.
