2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FH08 WEW

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 22 June 2023 at 112,513 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, with the latest pass showing a clean sheet. However, the record shows two failed tests in 2022 and 2023 that list no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a clear mechanical decline. The odometer sat at 107,462 miles for the 5 April 2022 test and rose only 5,051 miles to 112,513 by June 2023, confirming light annual use of roughly 6,250 miles. This low accumulation for an eighteen year old car suggests gentle running, though the identical mileage on both the 15 June 2023 fail and 22 June 2023 pass indicates the vehicle was retested within a week without further road use. The sparse history with no advisories across four entries gives little insight into wear on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and the unexplained failures. The absence of recorded advisories does not rule out creeping corrosion or tired components hidden by minimal annual mileage. Verify the V5C and test certificates to confirm why the 2022 and 2023 failures carried no defect codes. Prior owners kept the Fiesta lightly used and apparently roadworthy, but the twin no-defect fails warrant caution. Inspect underneath for structural rust and check the exhaust emissions and binding calipers before purchase.
