2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP08 OCS

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 10 May 2025 at 54,087 miles with no defects recorded. The underlying maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent pass shows a clean sheet and no outstanding advisories. A buyer should note the oddity of a failed test logged on the same date at 54,086 miles with no defects cited; this suggests an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, but the duplicate entry warrants verification with DVSA. Recorded mileage sits at 54,087 after roughly 18 years, equating to about 3,005 miles per year. The history shows 49,408 miles at the February 2023 test and 54,087 by May 2025, a modest 4,679-mile gain over 27 months. One entry lists 473,010 miles on 24 January 2022, which is plainly a data error against the vehicle's profile and the later readings. Aside from that anomaly, the sparse record reveals low annual use and no rapid accumulation or glaring gaps between valid tests. Given the clean MOT outcomes, no recurring faults emerge across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion. The absence of advisories at the 2023 and 2025 passes implies previous keepers addressed consumable wear before each test. Low mileage and likely periods of standing mean a buyer should still inspect for perished rubber components, seized calipers, and underbody rust not always caught in a pass. In person, verify the 2022 mileage entry is a clerical mistake and confirm the May 2025 failure was paperwork-only. Check tyre sidewalls for cracking from low use, test the handbrake for binding, and examine sills and suspension mounts for moisture damage consistent with limited running.
