2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EO58 UPC

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 16 January 2026 at 49,037 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults logged at any stage. Two earlier failures on 14 January 2026 (48,925 miles) and 15 January 2025 (29,508 miles) show no recorded defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical condition problems. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, totalling just 49,037 miles or around 2,724 miles per year. The records show a sharp rise from 25,068 miles at the January 2024 test to 29,510 miles in January 2025, then a substantial jump to 48,925 miles by January 2026. This suggests the car stood largely unused for years before covering nearly 20,000 miles in the most recent twelve-month period. The clean MOT slate across all entries gives little evidence of neglect, though sparse testing limits insight into consumable wear during the dormant phase. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as prolonged standing can seize components even when a test records no defects. Examine brake discs for corrosion pitting and check tyre sidewalls for perishing from age rather than tread wear. Structural underbody areas merit close scrutiny for rust given the vehicle's age and low historic mileage. The recurring zero-defect failures imply the previous owner addressed any pre-test faults promptly or the car was presented without valid documentation on those dates. Given the sudden mileage increase, verify service history covers the 2025 to 2026 period and confirm cambelt interval compliance for this 2008 unit.
