2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CX08 EOS

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a broadly roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, anchored by the most recent test on 5 May 2023 at 66,816 miles where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The DVSA entry for that same date shows a failed test at identical mileage with no defects logged, a clear administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests on 1 September 2022 at 65,628 miles and 2 September 2021 at 62,217 miles also returned passes with no advisories, confirming a clean three-year record free of escalating concerns. The odometer shows 66,816 miles against an eighteen-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,712 miles per year. That is low for the age. The car gained only 1,191 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, then 1,188 miles to May 2023, indicating light use or prolonged standing. Sparse testing cadence and absent advisories mean we cannot chart wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes from the record alone. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion, particularly beneath the sills and subframes where standing vehicles deteriorate. The tester logged no binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or coil spring breaks, yet low-mileage Fords of this era often hide perished rubber mounts and stale brake fluid. Verify the May 2023 fail-pass duplicate with the seller's paperwork to rule out a withdrawn certificate or clerical error at the testing station.
