2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · DA08 UJM

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 12 February 2026 at 86,837 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the three most recent annual tests from February 2024 through February 2026 all closed with passes and no advisories. Two earlier failures on 21 February 2024 and 12 February 2026 were logged at identical mileages to subsequent passes on the same dates with no defects cited, indicating administrative or presentational anomalies rather than mechanical rejection. The recorded mileage of 86,837 against an 18 year life gives a low average of roughly 4,824 miles per year. Annual increments stayed modest: 66,635 in February 2024, 69,813 in February 2025, and 74,717 at the February 2026 failure before jumping to 86,837 on the same day's pass. That 12,120 mile leap within one calendar date is inconsistent with organic use and suggests a late odometer correction or merged entry. Otherwise the gentle yearly climb points to light use, though long standing periods common at this mileage risk perished rubber components and seized mechanisms. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, since the clean MOT ledger does not capture wear below test thresholds. The Ford's age invites scrutiny of structural integrity at sills and subframes where hidden rust develops. Verify the 12 February 2026 mileage discrepancy with the seller's service paperwork before purchase.
