2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN08 FET

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 77,877 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since mid-2022. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Mileage stands at 77,877 against an 18-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,326 miles per year. The records trace a steady low-use pattern: 67,454 miles in June 2022, 70,532 by May 2023, 73,965 by May 2024, and 77,877 by May 2025. A six-day gap separates the 18 June 2022 failure at 67,454 miles from the 24 June 2022 pass at 67,529; the failure carried no listed defects, implying a clerical or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair backlog. Low annual coverage suggests prolonged standing periods, which can age rubber bushes and flat-spot tyres without high wear on drivetrain parts. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as static storage accelerates perishing that a pass test may not flag. Examine underside structural members and sills for rust, and check brake disc condition where the car sat unused. The clean MOT trail implies prior owners kept basic statutory testing current, but it does not evidence proactive mechanical care beyond the minimum.
