2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FL08 CVD

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 21 November 2025 at 93,509 miles. Not a single defect or advisory was recorded during that inspection, nor in any of the preceding four annual tests. This flawless record indicates a vehicle that has been consistently maintained to a high mechanical standard, with no recurring faults or worsening issues to concern a prospective buyer. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,195 miles per year. Between the November 2021 test at 90,063 miles and the November 2025 test at 93,509 miles, the car covered just 3,446 miles over four years. The annual increments remain remarkably steady, moving from 90,474 miles in November 2022 to 90,743 miles in November 2023, and 91,877 miles in November 2024. Such minimal, consistent usage suggests light, local driving rather than prolonged periods of inactivity, which bodes well for the longevity of consumable components like brake discs and suspension bushes that suffer from standing idle. Despite the pristine MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age. The absence of structural corrosion advisories in the record is encouraging, yet a buyer must still examine the sills, subframes, and wheel arches for surface rust or penetrating corrosion typical of a 2008 model. Low mileage often leads to perished rubber components; check the condition of suspension bushes, track rod ends, and tyre sidewalls for cracking, as these degrade with age rather than use. Similarly, inspect the brake fluid for moisture absorption and the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion, both common issues in vehicles that cover short distances without reaching full operating temperature.
