2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FM08 LCX

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 17 September 2024 at 96,524 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The four consecutive MOT passes from 2021 through 2024 show no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a consistently acceptable standard over the past three years. Recorded mileage stands at 96,524 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 5,362 miles per year. The test history supports light use: the car covered only 2,612 miles between September 2021 (89,912 miles) and September 2024 (96,524 miles). No gaps appear in the annual testing, and the clean record across all four entries suggests the previous owner maintained basic statutory compliance without deferred tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as the MOT record shows no flagged structural issues but low-mileage cars of this age often suffer from perished rubber and surface rust through prolonged standing. Brake discs and calipers warrant checking for binding or uneven wear despite the absence of advisories in the record. Given the sparse but clean history, the Fiesta shows no recurring fault pattern requiring concern. The lack of consumable wear items such as tyres or wiper blades being advised implies either timely owner replacement or minimal use; a pre-purchase check of exhaust emissions and underbody integrity remains prudent for a vehicle of this vintage.
