2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CV08 VRL

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 35,135 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 9 August 2024 at 31,997 miles confirms no outstanding advisories. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the examined period. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for an eighteen year old car. The test on 3 August 2023 logged 21,871 miles, yet the 15 August 2022 entry shows 23,821 miles, a reversal indicating a likely data anomaly or unrecorded mileage correction rather than genuine accumulation. From August 2023 to July 2025 the car covered just 13,264 miles, averaging under 7,000 per year. Such low totals suggest extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop unseen. A failed test on 7 August 2024 at 31,997 miles preceded the pass two days later with no defects listed, pointing to a minor rectification rather than a serious fault. The absence of advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes or exhaust emissions across all entries implies basic upkeep was maintained when the car was used. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of brake discs and calipers for binding after standstill, check subframe and sills for structural rust, and verify suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from inactivity. The clean MOT history offers reassurance, but low mileage Ford Fiestas of this era commonly hide damp-related corrosion not captured in a pass result.
