2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN58 VAA

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at its most recent test on 2023-08-24 at 122,069 miles. No defects or advisories appear across the three subsequent annual tests from 2021 to 2023, indicating the vehicle held a consistent mechanical condition in that period. The record shows no worsening faults and no outstanding structural or mechanical risks logged by DVSA testers. Mileage sat at 104,973 on 2021-09-01 and rose to 122,069 by 2023-08-24, an average of roughly 5,700 miles per year across that window. This aligns with typical use for an eighteen-year-old car and suggests no rapid accumulation or long dormant gaps. The test history is sparse but clean; only a failed test on 2021-09-01 at 104,973 miles appears, with no defects recorded, followed three days later by a pass on 2021-09-04 at 105,212 miles, implying the failure likely concerned documentation or test protocol rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 122,069 miles. The absence of advisories does not rule out latent corrosion on sills or subframes, nor worn exhaust mounts invisible at the time of testing. The unexplained 2021 failure warrants a check of the VOSA failure reason to confirm no suppressed fault preceded the quick pass. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory testing discipline, with three straight passes after the anomalous 2021 event. No recurring consumable neglect such as tyre tread or wiper blade failures shows in the data. Treat the clean record as a positive but verify underside structural integrity before purchase.
