2008 Ford Fiesta 2.0L Petrol · DA08 TPZ

The 2008 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 21 July 2025 at 78,035 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The vehicle shows a clean test profile, though two failed tests in 2024 and 2025 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at those visits rather than mechanical concern. Recorded mileage sits at 78,035 miles against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,335 miles per year and confirming very light use for the age. The odometer moved from 72,003 miles at the July 2023 test to 74,987 miles at the June 2024 failure, then 75,038 at the June 2024 pass, and held at 78,035 for both the July 2025 fail and pass. The sparse, clean record shows no rapid accumulation or standing gaps beyond the low annual average, suggesting limited road exposure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the car's age and the risk of perished rubber or corroded components from long periods idle. The repeated no-defect failures on 20 June 2024 and 17 July 2025 imply the previous owner may have presented the car without correct documentation or lighting checks rather than neglecting wear items. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions carry no adverse history here, but eighteen years invites hidden corrosion on sills and subframes. Verify the V5C and test certificate alignment to explain the two clean failures before purchase.
