2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN58 CXO

The maintenance trend appears stable, though the vehicle's recent history raises questions about its current condition. The most recent test on 16 December 2023 at 59,934 miles passed with no defects recorded. Just three days prior, a test at 59,928 miles failed, yet curiously, no defects were recorded for that failure either. This anomaly suggests a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The absence of any advisories or defects across the entire recorded history indicates a lack of significant mechanical wear, though the complete absence of recorded faults on an eighteen-year-old vehicle warrants a thorough physical inspection. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use, averaging roughly 3,330 miles per year. Between 9 September 2021 and 30 November 2021, the odometer moved only 109 miles. Usage increased slightly thereafter, covering 3,182 miles in the year leading to 8 December 2022, and 2,148 miles in the year prior to the December 2023 tests. Crucially, the recorded mileage has remained entirely static at 59,934 miles since 16 December 2023. As of today, 8 July 2026, the vehicle has not covered any demonstrable distance in over two and a half years. Despite the clean MOT record, prolonged stationary periods pose distinct risks that a database cannot reveal. A buyer must inspect for flat-spotted tyres, perished rubber suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers resulting from inactivity. The lack of recent mileage also means the engine oil and coolant have likely degraded from stagnation rather than use, necessitating immediate fluid changes. Structural integrity requires close scrutiny; check the sills, subframes, and floor pan for corrosion, as moisture accumulation during long-term standing accelerates rust formation far more than regular driving. Verify the condition of the exhaust system and fuel tank for similar corrosion issues.
