2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN08 KME

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following a pass on 13 January 2026 at 66,671 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failed attempt with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in January 2025, December 2023, and January 2023 all passed cleanly, showing no advisories or recurring defects across a three-year span. The odometer sat at 61,871 miles in January 2023 and rose to 66,671 miles by January 2026, an increase of 4,800 miles over three years. That equates to roughly 1,600 miles per year, well below the 3,704 annual average for the vehicle's age. The car covered only 2,412 miles between the January 2025 test at 64,259 miles and the January 2026 test. Such low use over eighteen years suggests extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even where the MOT shows a clean sheet. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left unused often suffer from seized linkages and flat-spotted tyres. The DVSA record flags no structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, but the absence of advisories does not confirm underside condition. Check for moisture ingress, degraded wiper blades, and brittle hoses that a light-use pattern typically hides from the annual test. Given the clean MOT sequence and minimal annual mileage, previous owners appear to have kept basic statutory testing current without obvious neglect. The January 2026 fail with no defects recorded warrants confirmation that the pass certificate is the valid one held against the vehicle today.
