2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · CX08 SLV

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a pass at 26,998 miles on 20 January 2026. The maintenance trend is stable with no advisories or defects logged across the five most recent tests. A single failure on 19 January 2026 at identical mileage recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle passing the next day. Mileage stands at 26,998 against an eighteen year old chassis, equating to roughly 1,500 miles per year. The record shows gentle accumulation: 24,087 miles in February 2023, 25,114 in January 2024, 25,866 in January 2025, and 26,998 by January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. Such low use over a long period suggests the car spent extended time stationary, which carries risk of perished rubber components and seized mechanisms even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the shell. Long standing invites corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points that a pass with no defects will not always capture. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness from disuse. Verify the tyres, brake discs, and exhaust for age related degradation rather than wear. The clean history implies a careful or lightly used previous keeper, but low mileage alone does not certify structural integrity on an eighteen year old vehicle.
