2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV08 JWP

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 18 November 2025 at 90,041 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the recent record. The November 2025 pass came on the same day as a failed attempt at identical mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either entry, suggesting an administrative or presentation failure rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2024 at 88,617 miles and November 2023 at 86,245 miles also passed cleanly, with the 2023 pass following a same-week November failure that similarly recorded no defects. The odometer shows 90,041 miles against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,000 miles per year. This is low for the age. Annual accumulation stayed consistent: 2,372 miles between the November 2023 and November 2024 tests, then 1,424 miles to November 2025. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of heavy use or neglected consumables, though long idle periods cannot be ruled out from the data alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as a low-mileage 2008 vehicle may have stood unused and developed hidden rust. The brake discs, calipers, and flexible hoses warrant hands-on checks for binding or seepage despite no advisories being raised. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be load-tested, since the MOT history offers no insight into wear on these components. The duplicated fail-and-pass entries on 21 and 24 November 2023, then 18 November 2025, imply previous owners addressed paperwork promptly but the DVSA logs lack defect detail. Verify the V5C and any service invoices to confirm the 90,041 miles is genuine and the car was not off-road for extended spells that could mask deterioration.
