2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FP08 HSJ

The 2008 Ford Fiesta shows a currently roadworthy status following the February 2024 pass at 169,349 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test passed with no defects logged, though the same date shows a prior failed attempt at 169,347 miles with no defects recorded, a pattern repeated at the February 2023 test where a fail at 154,612 miles preceded a pass at the same mileage on the same day. These paired fail-pass entries with no faults cited suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical defects. The mileage rose from 141,479 miles at the January 2022 test to 154,612 miles by February 2023, then to 169,349 miles by February 2024. That equates to roughly 13,000 miles in the first interval and 14,700 in the second, both above the lifetime average of about 9,400 miles per year. The record contains no major gaps, but the sparse five-entry history with three clean passes and two zero-defect fails gives limited insight into component condition. A buyer should still inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear consistent with 169,000 miles of use. The absence of advisories across all tests means no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or binding calipers were flagged, yet testers often omit minor consumable notes on older cars. Given the clean official record, verify the bodywork and subframe structural integrity in person for hidden rust, and confirm the tyres and wiper blades meet legal limits. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles warrant a check of the V5C and test centre notes to rule out clerical errors before purchase.
