2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · AE58 AYL

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 July 2025 at 179,980 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual examinations show no advisories or faults. The vehicle has cleared every MOT since the only failure event in its history. Mileage sits at a typical 9,999 per year for an eighteen-year-old car. The record shows 151,833 miles on 20 January 2022 at the failed test, rising to 151,834 miles on the same day when it passed, then 160,882 by 18 January 2023, 175,179 by 24 January 2024, and 179,980 by July 2025. The sparse gap between January 2024 and July 2025 covered only 4,801 miles, suggesting reduced use in the final period. No rapid accumulation or standing-still anomalies appear beyond that. The single failure on 20 January 2022 at 151,833 miles listed no defects, implying an administrative or unrecorded procedural cause rather than a mechanical fault. No tester ever flagged suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the timeline. The clean sheet indicates previous owners kept basic consumable and structural upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for rust given the age and 179,980 miles. Verify brake disc wear, suspension bush condition, and tyre tread in person, as these consumables fall outside MOT advisory capture when within limits. The history implies competent care, but eighteen years invites unseen fatigue not visible in pass results.
