2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BJ58 UDG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 31 January 2026 at 164,078 miles passed with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day that listed no defects. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately, as the car has maintained a clean record through the previous three successful tests. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,115 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the car covered 30,257 miles, indicating a steady rate of use. The interval between the December 2024 and January 2026 tests shows a jump of 5,698 miles, which aligns with regular annual usage. This consistent mileage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which often helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear areas common to a Fiesta of this age and mileage. Given the 164,000-mile mark, a close look at the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is necessary to check for perished or fatigue. The buyer should also inspect for corrosion on the sills and rear brake lines, as these are common points of failure that may not always manifest until they become a significant concern.
