2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FN08 DKF

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 12 February 2026 at 107,507 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. Records show a consistent pattern of passes following immediate re-tests after administrative failures, indicating no underlying deterioration in condition over the past three years. The recorded mileage sits at 107,507 against an 18-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,973 miles per year. This is low for the age and suggests lighter use or extended periods off the road. The odometer moved only 3,655 miles between the January 2024 test at 101,852 miles and the January 2025 test at 103,700 miles, then 3,807 miles to the February 2026 pass. Such low accumulation reduces expected wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though standing time can permit corrosion or perished rubber parts unseen in the clean record. The DVSA entries show two failures dated 15 January 2025 and 12 February 2026, both at matching mileages to the subsequent passes and both with no defects recorded. These were almost certainly documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejects. A buyer should still verify the vehicle physically, as the sparse history omits advisories that older Fiestas commonly accrue. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe mounting points for corrosion given the age and likely standing periods. Check brake discs and calipers for binding after storage, and confirm exhaust emissions and structural integrity match the clean test claims. The low mileage warrants scrutiny of tyre sidewall cracking and fluid degradation despite the absence of flagged faults.
