2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FL08 AEY

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 18 September 2023 at 137,420 miles returned a pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle met statutory standards at that point. Relative to the current date of 8 July 2026, the most recent test is approximately 34 months old, leaving a sizable gap with no fresh evidence of condition. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,634 miles per year. The records show 127,565 miles in October 2021, 130,673 miles in September 2022, and 137,420 miles in September 2023. That equates to around 3,100 miles between the first two tests and 6,700 over the following year, a modest rise but no abrupt accumulation. The clean pass sheet at each stage indicates previous owners kept the car to a baseline that satisfied the tester, though the absence of advisories means worn consumables such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes were either within limits or replaced before each test. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase given the elapsed time since the last MOT. At 137,420 miles and eighteen years old, structural corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points warrants close checking, as DVSA testers often record such issues only once penetration occurs. The front suspension arms, track rod ends, and rear beam should be examined for play or degraded rubber bushes. Brake component wear including caliper operation, disc lip, and pad thickness needs verification, since the 2023 pass gives no insight into remaining service life. Exhaust emissions and catalyst condition should be reviewed against current limits. The sparse history shows no recurring faults, yet the age and mileage demand hands-on assessment of drivetrain oil leaks and clutch wear that MOT tests do not cover.
