2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP08 OVU

The 2008 Ford Fiesta’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-20 at 145,004 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, prior tests reveal inconsistent outcomes: a failure on 2025-03-05 at 138,866 miles and another on 2023-11-22 at 138,798 miles, both without recorded defects. While the latest test suggests resolution of prior issues, the absence of defect details in these failures limits clarity on whether underlying problems were addressed. The vehicle’s maintenance trend shows no worsening, but the lack of detailed diagnostics prevents confirmation of full mechanical integrity. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s 18-year lifespan, averaging 8,056 miles annually. The 2022-11-14 test at 129,954 miles recorded a pass, followed by a 2023-11-22 failure at 138,798 miles, reflecting a 8,844-mile increase over 12 months. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2026 show gradual accumulation, with no significant gaps or spikes. The MOT history is sparse in defect reporting, which may indicate either meticulous maintenance or incomplete record-keeping. The vehicle’s age and mileage suggest typical wear, but the absence of detailed fault data limits a thorough assessment of component longevity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to wear in older vehicles. The braking system, including brake discs and calipers, warrants scrutiny due to the vehicle’s high mileage. Structural integrity should also be evaluated, as rust or corrosion can develop in older models. While the MOT record shows no active defects, the lack of detailed fault history means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of critical components and identify any unresolved issues from prior failures.
