2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CU56 AMY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent test on January 6 2026, which passed with no recorded defects. This follows a period of consistent passes over the previous four years, dating back to November 2021. The lack of major mechanical failures in the last five tests indicates that the primary safety and structural components have met the minimum legal standards during the inspection intervals. At a recorded 73,935 miles, this 18-year-old Fiesta averages approximately 4,108 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests limited road use, though it often correlates with age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical wear. The record shows a consistent testing interval of roughly annually between 2021 and 2025, with a slight gap between the November 2025 and 2026 tests. A buyer should pay specific attention to the advisories from January 9, 2025, where testers flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside front, offside front, and nearside rear tyres. These indicators suggest the rubber is reaching the end of its life due to age rather than tread depth, necessitating a physical inspection to ensure the sidewalls are not compromised. Given the low mileage and age, the vehicle should also be checked for structural corrosion on the chassis and perished rubber bushes in the suspension, which frequently affect vehicles that remain stationary for long periods.
