2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FL58 AFX

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 29 September 2025 at 86,180 miles with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The mileage is notably low for an 18 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,788 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between September 2024 and September 2025, where the odometer rose from 77,272 to 86,180 miles. This indicates a period of increased activity after several years of very light use, as seen between the September 2023 test at 75,728 miles and the 2024 test. The absence of recorded defects or advisories over the last three years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While the record is clean, the low overall mileage and long periods of light use increase the risk of perished rubber components. A buyer should specifically check for cracked suspension bushes, degraded tyre sidewalls, and potential seizure in the brake calipers due to inactivity. Given the age of the chassis, a physical inspection should focus on structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points. The MOT record does not flag rust, but these areas often require manual probing to confirm integrity. Checking for oil leaks and verifying the condition of the coolant hoses is also recommended to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from deterioration during periods of standing.
