2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CV58 EVY

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 88,076 miles on 10 January 2025, with the underlying maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its most recent test with no defects logged, and prior examinations returned similarly clean results once rectifications were made. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges from the DVSA data. Recorded mileage stands at 88,076 against an eighteen year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,893 miles per year and marking this car as low use for its age. The odometer moved from 78,043 miles at the January 2023 test to 83,304 by January 2024, then to 88,069 by January 2025, showing a steady near 5,000 mile annual accumulation with no abrupt jumps. Such light yearly running often signals extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. The test history shows two administrative fails on 8 January 2025 and 31 January 2024, both at identical mileages to the following passes and with no defects recorded, indicating documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. Previous keepers clearly addressed the tester's requirements promptly, and the absence of advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or exhaust suggests basic upkeep was not neglected. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. Examine coil springs, brake discs, and flexible hoses for age related degradation not captured in a clean MOT. Verify the 2025 fail root cause with the issuing garage to confirm no concealed defect preceded the pass.
