2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FN08 AVR

The 2008 Ford Fiesta shows a stable maintenance trend with an unbroken MOT pass record. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 108,658 miles passed with no defects recorded. Earlier examinations on 14 March 2024, 14 March 2023, 17 March 2022 and 11 March 2021 likewise returned passes without advisories. This clean history indicates the vehicle has not developed recurring mechanical or structural faults across the documented four-year span. Odometer readings reveal a typical overall average of 6,037 miles per year for its 18-year life, yet recent use collapsed. The car logged 104,718 miles in March 2021 and 106,799 miles by 17 March 2022, a 2,081-mile gain. Accumulation slowed to 1,107 miles by March 2023 and 745 miles by March 2024. The May 2025 certificate shows 108,658 miles, merely 7 miles above the prior year. Such stagnation suggests extended storage, a pattern that can conceal perished suspension bushes and seized brake components despite annual passes. No tester flagged worn coil springs, binding calipers, brake disc wear, corrosion or exhaust emissions failures during any examination. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but age and dormancy demand physical verification. A buyer should inspect subframe and sill structural integrity for rust, examine suspension arm bushes and coil springs for degradation, and confirm brake caliper movement and disc condition after long standing. A cold-start emissions check remains sensible given the low running frequency.
