2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FN58 JTZ

The vehicle's recent MOT history reveals a clear deterioration in roadworthiness, with a definitive failure occurring on 2025-11-07 at 75,506 miles. This failure represents the most significant event in the record, occurring shortly after the previous two failed inspections, which occurred in November 2024. The consistent failure pattern between November 2024 and November 2025 indicates that the mechanical integrity of the car has deteriorated rapidly over the past year, suggesting that the previous owners likely failed to perform routine maintenance or that the car has been stored in a condition conducive to rapid wear. The mileage trajectory is characterized by a significant accumulation of 18 years of driving data, which is low for a 2008 model, but the data itself is sparse and clean. The vehicle has experienced two separate failed tests on the same date, 2024-11-14, at 70,184 miles, followed by a third failed test on the same date in 2023. This pattern suggests that the car has been driven for over a decade without any major mechanical interventions, leaving the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems in a state of high risk for further failure. Consequently, a buyer must be prepared for a thorough inspection of the car's suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components, as the history indicates a severe structural risk. The testing flagged binding rear brakes and failed coil springs, which are critical indicators that the vehicle's suspension has lost its ability to absorb road irregularities. Additionally, the failed brake discs and exhaust emissions indicate that the braking system and exhaust system have degraded, likely due to prolonged exposure to harsh driving conditions. A buyer should verify the condition of these specific components and consider whether the car requires a full diagnostic or if the mechanical risks are too high to proceed safely.
