2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE58 YLX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent March 2025 MOT at 111,830 miles. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-03-19 at 95,102 miles—despite no defects noted—suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded minor faults. The absence of recurring mechanical failures in subsequent tests implies the vehicle has remained mechanically sound, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 6,213 miles annually. The 2022-2023 period saw a 4,800-mile increase, followed by 2,156 miles in 2023-2024 and 9,773 miles in 2024-2025. These increments suggest regular driving rather than prolonged inactivity, reducing risks of component degradation from standing. However, the lack of detailed defect reports in earlier tests limits insight into potential wear on consumables or structural elements. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as high mileage can accelerate these issues. Structural integrity, especially underbody rust, requires attention due to the car’s 18-year lifespan. While MOT records show no critical faults, the 2022 failure and absence of detailed diagnostics mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’sTrue condition.
