2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CV58 RVT

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 5 April 2024 at 155,618 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has cleared its last two successive annual examinations without advisories, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 155,618 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 8,645 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this model age. The history shows sparse but clean entries: a pass at 146,300 miles on 16 December 2021 followed the same-day failure with no defects logged, then a jump to 152,787 miles by 16 February 2023 with a failed retest two weeks later at 152,795 miles, also with no faults cited. The final recorded figure of 155,618 on 5 April 2024 confirms low annual accumulation of around 3,200 miles since early 2023. The repeated failure entries on 16 December 2021 and 16 February 2023 carry no listed defects, which suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than underlying component faults. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points given the vehicle's age and salt-exposure risk on a UK roadster of this era. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions should be visually checked for wear consistent with 155,000 miles of service. The absence of advisories across the last two passes implies previous owners addressed consumables promptly, though a pre-purchase check of tyre tread depth and binding calipers remains prudent given the earlier anomalous failures.
