2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · FP08 XFA

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 88,614 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 27 February 2025 at 85,135 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the visible history. The February 2025 entry also shows a failed test on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 88,614 against an eighteen year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,923 miles per year. The car covered only 3,479 miles between the December 2022 test at 77,218 miles and the December 2023 pass at 81,105 miles, then 4,030 miles to the February 2025 figure of 85,135 miles. Low annual use of this nature often means long stationary periods, which can allow corrosion and perished rubber components to develop even where the odometer suggests light wear. The MOT data itself is sparse and clean, with no advisories or repairs logged to indicate prior neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's age and likely intermittent use. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant close checking for age related deterioration that a pass with no defects would not capture. The twin February 2025 test entries with a faultless failure should be verified on the DVSA portal to confirm no suppressed defect record exists before purchase.
