2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · CV08 RFF

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 16 October 2025 at 104,086 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The single failure on 15 October 2025 at the same mileage recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in November 2022, 2023, and 2024 all passed with no advisories, showing consistent annual compliance over the last three years. The odometer shows 104,086 miles against an 18 year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,783 miles per year. This is low for the age. The car covered only 3,927 miles between the November 2022 test at 83,325 miles and the November 2023 test at 87,452 miles, then 7,552 miles to November 2024 at 95,004 miles, and 9,082 miles to the October 2025 pass at 104,086 miles. Mileage accumulation is gradual with no sudden spikes. The record is sparse and clean, with no flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions concerns across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 2008 manufacture date and the absence of any advisory data in the MOT trail. Long periods of low use implied by the sub-6,000 annual mileage can allow moisture ingress and dormant rust on sills and subframes. The brake calipers and coil springs should be cycled on a road test to confirm no binding or fracture has developed unseen between the clean tests. The repeated clean results with no consumable wear noted on tyres or wiper blades suggest the previous keeper addressed items pre-test rather than leaving them as advisories. Given the failed-then-passed sequence within 24 hours in October 2025, verify the VOSA failure reason was purely procedural and obtain the full test certificate before purchase.
