2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FP08 XMY

The 2008 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 13 November 2024 at 112,288 miles which recorded no defects. Four consecutive passes from November 2021 through November 2024 show no advisories or mechanical faults raised by testers across that period. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 98,833 miles at the 9 November 2021 test, rising to 104,431 miles by 9 November 2022, then 108,822 miles on 7 November 2023, and 112,288 miles in November 2024. Annual accumulation sits near 3,500 to 4,500 miles, below the 6,238-mile average implied by total distance, indicating light yearly use. No gaps or sudden jumps appear in the supplied entries. A clean MOT history with zero advisories across four years suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though the absence of flagged wear does not confirm component condition. At 112,288 miles and eighteen years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion warrant physical inspection that records alone cannot verify. The buyer should commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and exhaust emissions before purchase. The tester noted no binding calipers or tyre defects, yet rubber components and silent bushes degrade with age regardless of mileage. Given the low annual use, prolonged standing may have accelerated perishable deterioration invisible to MOT scrutiny.
