2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FH08 WLP

The most recent test on 30 November 2023 returned a pass with no defects recorded, leaving the Fiesta in a roadworthy state on paper at that time. The maintenance trend shows a stable final outcome, though the path to it was messy. The vehicle failed twice earlier in November 2023 and once in July 2022, yet every failure was logged with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Mileage data is sparse. The only recorded figures are 121,163 miles on 28 July 2022 and 121,173 miles on 3 August 2022, a ten-mile gap across the failed and passed tests. No mileage appears for any 2023 entry, so we cannot judge accumulation against the car's 2008 build date or spot rapid use. The clean 2022 readings suggest low recent running, but the absence of 2023 figures leaves a gap the buyer must close with the seller. Because the DVSA record shows no advisories or defects across any test, there is no flagged wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion to chase. The repeated fails with empty defect fields imply clerical errors, not neglected consumables like tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still verify the true 2023 mileage and confirm the November 2023 pass reflects a genuine road test rather than a system correction. In person, check the V5C against the 121,173-mile 2022 reading and look for unrecorded rust on sills or subframes given the car's age. The history gives no mechanical red flags, but the missing mileages and zero-defect fails mean the paper trail alone is not enough to confirm care patterns by previous owners.
