2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AD08 AWV

The most recent MOT test on 25 January 2023 recorded a failure at 315,649 miles with no defects listed, leaving the vehicle's current roadworthiness unconfirmed and the maintenance trend impossible to assess from outcomes alone. Prior to that, the car passed on 2 February 2022 at 195,170 miles after a failure four days earlier on 28 January 2022 at the same mileage, also with no defects logged. The record shows no advisories or flagged mechanical faults across any entry, but the January 2023 failure with zero recorded defects suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a clean bill of health. The odometer jumped from 195,170 miles in February 2022 to 315,649 miles by January 2023, an accumulation of 120,479 miles in under twelve months against a long-term average of roughly 17,500 miles per year. That single-year spike points to intensive commercial or delivery use in the final recorded period. The car is now eighteen years old with 315,649 miles on the clock, and no test has been logged since January 2023, leaving it untested for over three years relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. A buyer must treat the 2023 failure as a red flag requiring physical verification of why the tester rejected the car. With no defects captured, the DVSA entry offers no guidance on whether brakes, suspension, or emissions caused the result. Given the extreme mileage and age, the front suspension arms, track rod ends, and coil springs will likely show fatigue. The high annual use in 2022 to 2023 will have accelerated clutch and gearbox wear on this Fiesta. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be inspected closely, as an eighteen-year-old Ford exposed to that mileage may hide rust not visible in the sparse record. The three-year gap since the last test means tyres, brake discs, and exhaust integrity are completely unknown and must be checked before any road use.
