2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN08 KNO

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 21 February 2025 at 126,051 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend across the available five-year record is steady, with no advisories or mechanical faults raised at any stage. A single administrative failure appears on 8 March 2024 at 121,258 miles, immediately followed by a pass at 121,259 miles on the same day with no defects logged, indicating a clerical or presentation issue rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Annual mileage averages close to 7,003 miles against the vehicle's 18-year life, a typical use profile for this age of supermini. The record shows smooth accumulation: 112,777 miles in February 2022, 118,230 in March 2023, 121,259 in March 2024, and 126,051 in February 2025. No rapid jumps or standing gaps emerge. The sparse, clean history suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing discipline, though absence of advisories does not confirm component condition beneath test thresholds. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear, as these items accumulate fatigue invisibly between clean MOTs on a high-mileage older chassis. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants physical checks despite no tester flags in the record. The same-day fail and pass in March 2024 merits a glance at the VOSA refusal notice to confirm no suppressed defect. Given the unbroken pass sequence and ordinary mileage, the vehicle shows no worsening trend. Prospective owners should budget for age-related consumables but face no recorded structural or mechanical red flags from the official data supplied.
