2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · FP08 XPM

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 25 October 2024 at 57,999 miles with zero defects. This clean bill of health has remained consistent across the last five annual inspections, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard without recurring mechanical failures or persistent advisory items. The absence of any recorded defects during this period suggests a diligent approach to routine upkeep and proactive servicing by previous owners. The recorded mileage of 57,999 over eighteen years averages approximately 3,222 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows a steady, incremental accumulation of miles between September 2020 and October 2024, confirming the car has seen regular but light use rather than extended periods of inactivity. This consistent usage pattern is generally preferable for mechanical health, as it reduces the likelihood of issues associated with long-term storage, such as seized brake components or degraded rubber seals. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that age regardless of mileage, specifically the condition of rubber suspension bushes, cooling hoses, and the structural integrity of the subframe. While the MOT history is exemplary, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough check for hidden corrosion in the sills and wheel arches, as these areas are prone to oxidation on older Ford models. You should also verify the status of the timing belt, as this is a time-dependent maintenance item that may be overdue despite the low mileage recorded on the dashboard.
