2008 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GL08 MXP

The vehicle presents a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 28 November 2025 at 92,370 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a trend of mechanical compliance over the last five years. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids recurring mechanical failures or developing structural degradations. The mileage pattern is notably low for an 18-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 5,100 miles per annum. A significant spike in usage is evident between November 2024 at 65,281 miles and November 2025 at 92,370 miles, where the car covered over 27,000 miles in a single year. Prior to this, the vehicle saw very little use, covering fewer than a thousand miles in some intervals. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals due to infrequent operation. Despite the clean records, a buyer must inspect for age-related wear common in low-mileage older vehicles. Focus should be placed on the suspension components, such as coil springs and rubber bushes, which can become brittle and perish over time regardless of distance travelled. Check the chassis for corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT tests only flag structural rust once it reaches specific thresholds. Given the recent surge in mileage, verify that the brake discs show no signs of excessive scoring and that the tyres have sufficient tread and no signs of dry cracking.
