2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Petrol · GV58 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection. The September 2025 test at 85,890 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at that time. While the December 2024 test initially recorded a failure, the subsequent pass on the same day suggests a minor, immediate rectification was completed to bring the car up to standard. The recorded mileage of 85,890 miles over an eighteen-year lifespan equates to approximately 4,772 miles per year. This represents significantly lower usage than the UK average, suggesting the car has seen light use or has spent considerable time stationary. The data shows a consistent upward trend in mileage, with the vehicle covering roughly 10,000 miles between the December 2022 test at 63,630 miles and the December 2023 test at 73,401 miles. Because the MOT history is remarkably clean and lacks recurring advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust corrosion, the vehicle appears well-maintained. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with perished rubber components or seized calipers due to infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus on checking the condition of the tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensuring the brake calipers do not bind. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the underbody for structural rust is necessary, as the MOT record does not provide detail on minor surface corrosion. The buyer should also verify that the service history matches the low mileage profile to ensure that oil and coolant changes have been performed regularly despite the infrequent road use.
