2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE08 ACY

The vehicle is currently not roadworthy as it failed its most recent MOT test on 5 September 2024. The maintenance trend is unstable. While the car passed several tests between 2022 and 2023, the failure in late 2024 indicates an unresolved issue that has left the vehicle without a valid certificate for nearly two years relative to the current date of July 2026. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 7,406 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 117,983 miles to 133,309 miles. This jump of over 15,000 miles in a single year represents a significant increase compared to the 3,638 miles covered between August 2022 and September 2023. The MOT record is unusually sparse regarding specific defect descriptions, as no technical details were logged for the failures in 2022, 2023, or 2024. This lack of data makes it impossible to identify recurring mechanical trends or specific component failures. The pattern of failing and then passing within a few days suggests the previous owner addressed faults reactively rather than proactively. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. Given the vehicle's age and the 133,309 mile reading, structural corrosion and worn suspension bushes are high-risk areas. The absence of detailed failure notes means the current state of the brake discs, calipers, and exhaust emissions remains unknown. Priority should be given to checking for any signs of long-term standing since the September 2024 failure.
