2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · AG58 XMX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a passed MOT on 5 December 2025 at 108,610 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a recurring administrative pattern of same-day failures and passes on both 5 December 2025 (failed at 108,601, passed at 108,610) and 2 December 2024 (failed at 103,494, passed at 103,500). No mechanical defects were listed on any failure, indicating the rejections stemmed from non-item faults such as documentation or test errors rather than worn components. Annual mileage averages 6,034 across the 18-year life, a typical figure for the age. The DVSA data shows steady yearly use: 98,860 miles on 4 December 2023, 103,500 on 2 December 2024, and 108,610 on 5 December 2025. The roughly 4,600 to 5,100 miles added each year reflects light, consistent private use with no standing periods or sudden accumulation. The clean pass history with zero advisories across three years implies basic consumables were maintained to test standard. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and 108,610 miles. The MOT record flagged no corrosion or structural integrity issues, but eighteen-year-old Ford bodies commonly develop sills and subframe rust unseen in a pass test. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions in person. The repeated same-day fail-pass entries without defects suggest previous owners used one garage and corrected minor test-side matters quickly. This points to compliant upkeep rather than deferred mechanical work. Given no advisories ever raised, the car likely received adequate but not exhaustive care.
