2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BN58 UTO

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 February 2025 at 137,969 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 February 2024 at 132,741 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the latest two cycles. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical pattern in the official record. Recorded mileage sits at 137,969 against an 18 year lifespan, equating to roughly 7,665 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The DVSA log jumps from 125,118 miles on 10 February 2023 to 132,741 by February 2024, then to 137,969 by February 2025, a steady annual accumulation near 5,600 to 7,600 miles with no abrupt gaps or surge. The two failed entries on 26 February 2024 and 10 February 2023 both list no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation rejections rather than mechanical faults, and the owner cleared them with passes one day later each time. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 137,969 miles of service. The MOT history flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns, yet testers issued zero advisories even at high mileage, which can mean faults were missed or the vehicle was lightly stressed. Verify underbody condition and check for binding calipers or worn consumables not captured by the clean passes. Given the sparse but clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance without documented neglect. The same day retests after the two fault free failures suggest routine garage handling rather than deferred repair. Inspect tyres and wiper blades for age related perishing before purchase, as these consumables fall outside MOT defect logging when within limits.
