2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FN08 DLD

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 86,650 miles on 14 February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable with no advisories or defects logged across any test in the supplied record. The vehicle cleared its most recent examination without fault after a prior failed attempt eleven days earlier at 86,637 miles where the tester recorded no specific defect, suggesting an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical failure. Recorded mileage stands at 86,650 against an eighteen year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,814 miles per year. The car shows light use for its age. Gaps between tests are narrow: 79,612 miles on 1 February 2023, then 82,761 at the January 2024 pass, and 86,650 by February 2025. Annual accumulation stays near 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Low totals imply minimal drivetrain stress but raise the prospect of prolonged standing periods that can degrade seals, tyres, and brake components through inactivity. The failed entries of 3 February 2025 and 12 January 2024 carry no listed defects, so the record offers no evidence of recurring suspension bushes, coil spring fracture, binding calipers, or structural corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs for face rust, suspension arm bushes for perishing, and underbody members for moisture driven corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely static intervals. Verify the V5C and test certificate against the unexplained 2024 and 2025 failures, since a no-defect fail often signals a presentation error or missed identifier. Otherwise the DVSA history supports a clean, low-mileage survivor needing only standard consumable renewal.
