2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE08 AEZ

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a roadworthiness profile marked by inconsistent MOT outcomes without recorded defects. The most recent test on 2024-07-01 at 150,435 miles resulted in a pass, but the preceding test on 2024-06-25 at 150,431 miles failed without explanation. This pattern of alternating passes and fails, coupled with no defects logged, suggests either procedural anomalies in the MOT process or a lack of detailed inspection. The vehicle’s maintenance trend remains unclear, as the absence of recorded issues prevents definitive assessment of mechanical stability. The mileage of 150,435 miles over 18 years equates to an average of 8,358 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the MOT history reveals no significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes, indicating consistent operation. Notably, the 2023-06-27 tests at 146,263 miles show two consecutive passes and fails without defects, raising questions about the reliability of these records. The lack of detailed fault reporting limits insight into potential underlying issues, though the absence of recorded problems may reflect minimal mechanical degradation. A buyer should prioritize in-person checks for common age-related concerns. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, warrant inspection for wear given the vehicle’s high mileage. Brake systems, particularly calipers and discs, should be assessed for binding or uneven wear, as these often develop gradually. Structural integrity, especially underbody corrosion, is critical due to the car’s age. While MOT records show no overt faults, the absence of detailed diagnostics means a physical examination is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
