2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CA57 AFN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent test on 15 January 2026. Following a failure in early 2023, the car has undergone three consecutive annual inspections without any recorded defects or advisories. This clean streak suggests that any previous mechanical issues were rectified and that the owner has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep to meet basic safety and emissions requirements. Mileage data indicates a consistent usage pattern over the last two years. The vehicle recorded 70,529 miles in January 2024 and progressed to 85,642 miles by January 2025. This represents an average annual run of approximately 15,100 miles, which aligns with typical UK national averages for a motor car. While the mileage for the 2023 and 2026 tests is not recorded, the available data suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to extreme or erratic mileage that would indicate premature component fatigue. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on common failure points inherent to this generation of Ford Fiesta. The buyer should prioritise a check for structural integrity, specifically around the sills and rear suspension mounting points, as corrosion often develops undetected until it becomes an MOT failure. Additionally, verifying the condition of the suspension bushes and checking for any binding brake calipers is advisable, as these components frequently wear without without triggering an advisory during a standard test.
