2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE58 AEX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 7 September 2022 at 72,938 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent rather than worsening or deteriorating over the observed period. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical expectations for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 46,444 miles on 6 November 2019, rising only marginally to 46,552 by 3 March 2020, then climbing to 54,858 by 4 February 2021, 66,155 by 21 February 2022, and 72,938 by September 2022. This equates to roughly 4,050 miles per annum, indicating light use with probable extended standing periods. The clean test history across all five entries suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though sparse intervals between 2019 and 2021 imply limited regular running. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural corrosion points, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition given the vehicle's age and low-use pattern. Prolonged inactivity often accelerates underbody rust and seizes calipers despite a clear MOT ledger. The absence of advisories means no specific mechanical faults were flagged, but the DVSA test does not assess hidden rot or intermittent binding. Verify the odometer reading against service stamps and confirm the car has not been laid up undrained for long stretches. Low mileage on a 2008 shell warrants close scrutiny of tyre sidewall cracking, fluid degradation, and exhaust hangers that the MOT may pass yet fail prematurely in service.
