2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP08 OTZ

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 January 2024 at 132,027 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 13 January 2023 at 127,409 miles shows no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults carried forward. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 124,321 miles at the 12 January 2022 test, rising to 127,409 miles by January 2023 and 132,027 miles by January 2024. That equates to roughly 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year across the logged period, well below the 7,335 annual average implied by the total. The DVSA history is sparse but clean, with only a failed entry on 13 January 2023 that logged no defects and was immediately superseded by a pass the same day, suggesting an administrative or presentational anomaly rather than a mechanical concern. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag wear. The lack of corrosion or structural notes in the MOT data does not exempt the chassis and sills from physical examination, as eighteen years of service can conceal rust not captured in a pass result. The repeated clean tests imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the unexplained same-day fail and pass in January 2023 warrants a check of the original test centre documentation. No recurring faults or consumable neglect appear in the record, but tyres, wiper blades and exhaust emissions should be verified on the day of sale.
