2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FG58 WOY

The 2008 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable and highly favourable maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 123,773 miles returned a completely clean bill of health, confirming the vehicle currently meets all structural and mechanical roadworthiness standards. This unbroken record of passing tests suggests a diligent approach to preventative upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent and typical for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. Between the November 2021 test at 91,668 miles and the December 2025 test at 123,773 miles, the Fiesta covered 32,105 miles over four years, averaging roughly 8,000 miles annually. A slight acceleration occurred between the January 2024 test at 102,005 miles and the December 2024 test at 111,252 miles, covering 9,247 miles in a single year. There are no alarming gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Despite the pristine MOT record, an eighteen-year-old supermini at 123,773 miles demands a thorough physical inspection of typical wear components. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as high-mileage Fiestas frequently suffer from cracking or sagging at this age. Brake discs and pads require scrutiny for lipping and wear, while the exhaust system must be checked for corrosion or blowing joints. Structural integrity around the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrants careful examination for rust, which can develop silently beneath underseal. Tyre condition and tread depth should also be verified, as uneven wear often hints at underlying tracking or suspension geometry issues not always flagged during a standard MOT.
