2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN08 KJU

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT recorded on 12 November 2025 at 82,604 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, with the most recent pass following two failed attempts on the same day and a prior failure at the end of October 2025, all at near-identical mileages and all with no defects formally logged. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Mileage sits at 82,604 against an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 4,589 miles per year. The jump from 69,248 miles at the 7 November 2024 test to 82,590 by 31 October 2025 shows about 13,300 miles added in eleven months, a short burst of use after what was likely a quieter prior period. Low overall mileage for the age can mask deterioration from standing, yet the record carries no advisories on corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions across either year. The repeated failures with no defects recorded point to test entry errors or withdrawn certificates rather than owner neglect of consumables such as tyres or wiper blades. A buyer should still confirm the vehicle was not subject to a genuine rejection that was later cleared without repair. Given the age, inspect front coil springs, subframe corrosion, and handbrake mechanism in person. Verify the V5C matches the low mileage and question the vendor on the October to November 2025 test cluster. The clean advisory history offers reassurance, but a physical check of structural integrity and binding calipers remains sensible before purchase.
