2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · CV58 XAR

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 2026-04-02 at 107,926 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior pass on 2025-06-25 at 105,007 miles also carried no advisories. A buyer should note the two failed entries logged on the same dates as passes in 2025 and 2024, both at 105,007 and 94,765 miles respectively, yet showing no defects recorded; this points to administrative or presentation anomalies in the DVSA data rather than mechanical failure. The odometer shows 107,926 miles against an 18-year life, a low average of roughly 5,996 miles per year. Between the 2024-06-19 test at 94,765 miles and the 2025-06-25 test at 105,007 miles the car covered 10,242 miles, then only 2,919 miles to the 2026-04-02 reading. Such low and slowing use suggests extended standing periods, which commonly accelerates perishing of rubber suspension bushes, tyres, and brake caliper seizing through inactivity rather than wear. The sparse history gives no flagged corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns across the recorded tests. With no advisories on coil springs, brake discs, or binding calipers, the record implies basic upkeep was maintained but offers no evidence of proactive component renewal. A buyer should still inspect for hidden structural rust beneath sills and subframes, check suspension bushes for age cracking, and confirm brake calipers are free given the low-mileage standing pattern. Given the duplicated fail and pass logs on identical dates and mileages, the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA status to rule out clerical error. The clean defect sheet supports a sound used purchase, provided an independent inspection confirms the absence of latent corrosion and inactive-use deterioration not captured by the tester.
