2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GF08 OGC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. Following a clean test on February 9, 2024 at 136,991 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects, indicating that mechanical and safety systems met minimum standards at that time. While the history shows failures in early 2022 and early 2023, the immediate follow-up passes suggest the previous owner was proactive in rectifying faults to maintain legal roadworthy status. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for an eighteen-year-old vehicle. With 136,991 miles recorded, the car has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, suggesting regular use rather than long periods of stagnation which often causes component degradation. A gap of 13,190 miles occurred between February 2022 and February 2023, followed by another 12,209-mile interval leading to the most recent test in February 2024. This steady accumulation indicates a predictable wear rate on consumables such as suspension bushes, bushings, and tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Fiestas are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe. Although the recent records show no advisories, the previous failures in 2022 and 2023 imply that certain components require periodic attention. Given the vehicle's age, a close check of fluid leaks, brake pipe condition, and worn suspension bolts is necessary to ensure that no new issues have developed since the last test over two months ago.
