2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GD08 WHX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 28 May 2026 at 65,197 miles, indicating the car is roadworthy. The maintenance trend shows signs of stabilization following a period of structural concern. While the most recent test resulted in a pass, the presence of a minor lighting defect suggests that basic electrical maintenance is occasionally overlooked. The overall condition appears to have improved since the significant structural failure recorded in late 2022, provided the repairs performed at that time were of a high standard. The recorded mileage of 65,197 over an eighteen-year lifespan averages approximately 3,622 miles per annum, which is exceptionally low. The data shows consistent annual usage between 2021 and 2026, with no significant gaps in testing that would suggest long-term storage or neglect. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it can lead to accelerated corrosion on static parts such as brake discs and suspension mounts due to infrequent use and moisture retention. Prospective buyers must prioritise a physical inspection of the offside rear sill area, which failed for excessive corrosion in November 2022. Verify the quality of the welding or repair work to ensure the structural integrity of the subframe mounting point remains sound. Additionally, the recurring note regarding a distorted offside front wheel across multiple tests from 2021 to 2022 suggests a potential history of kerb impacts, which may have placed undue stress on the steering rack and suspension bushes. Inspect the front brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or uneven wear, as these components have been flagged previously as thin or pitted.
