2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · DK08 WMP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent years of testing. The last recorded MOT conducted on 20 January 2023 at 124,646 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests the previous owner was proactive in rectifying immediate mechanical issues to achieve compliance. Since no tests have been recorded for over three years, the vehicle is currently overdue for testing and requires an immediate inspection to verify its current mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-useage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles annually. Between December 2020 at 95,482 miles and December 2021 at 111,259 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles in a single year, which represents a higher-than-average period of use. However, the overall trend across the six years indicates a steady usage pattern, which is generally beneficial for seals and rubber components compared to the degradation often seen in long-stationary, low-mileage cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and the suspension components. Given the age of the Fiesta and the lack of recent data, checking for corrosion on sills, wing arches, and brake lines is critical. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories, the age of the vehicle suggests that suspension bushes and coil springs may be perished or showing fatigue. Because the vehicle has not been tested since 2023, a thorough check of the brake system and fluid leaks is necessary to ensure no significant faults have developed since the last official check.
