Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage option for
The primary focus for a buyer should be the recent MOT advisories. In June 2026, both nearside and offside rear coil springs were flagged as corroded; you should check if these have been replaced since the test. Additionally, the July 2025 record noted a corroded offside rear brake pipe and worn front brake discs, which are typical wear-and-tear items for a vehicle of this vintage.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the cost of replacing these components if the work has not yet been carried out. Ensure you review the service history to confirm regular oil and filter changes for the 1.4L engine, as this is the best indicator of long-term engine health beyond the MOT records.
The 1.4L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, offering reasonable fuel economy. As a 2008 model, it will fall into a standard tax band for its era, and the Fiesta generally sits in a low insurance group, keeping fixed costs manageable.
Typical maintenance costs for this model are usually low due to the high volume of parts available in the UK. Expect annual costs to be dominated by fuel and the need for periodic replacement of consumables like brakes and tyres.
Pay close attention to the rear suspension, specifically the coil springs, as these were flagged for corrosion in 2026 and are a known top failure reason for this model according to aggregate data. Inspect the underside for the condition of the brake pipes, particularly the offside rear, which was flagged in 2025.
Check the front brake discs for thickness, as they were noted as worn in 2025. Finally, ensure the registration plate is clear and legible, as it was previously flagged as deteriorated.
This blue 2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L petrol has covered 71,306 miles, which is below the model average for its age. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes since 2022, with no failures recorded in this period. However, the most recent tests have identified age-related corrosion on the suspension and braking components.
The Fiesta has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with coil springs being one of the most common failure points across the model range.
