2008 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · KS58 CFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean pass record over the last three years. Following a failure in April 2022, the car has undergone three consecutive MOT tests without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent test in September 2025 at 162,905 miles returned no faults, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standards without immediate remedial requirements. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2023 and 2024 tests, the car covered 4,352 miles, while the interval between September 2024 and 2025 saw a slightly lower 11,623 miles. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is driven consistently, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals associated with long periods of standing. The lack of significant gaps between test dates indicates a proactive approach to the annual testing schedule. Despite the clean history, the high mileage of over 162,000 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear areas. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints, as these components fatigue at this age and mileage. Given the record does not list structural advisories, checking for hidden corrosion on the sills and floor pans is vital to ensure the structural integrity remains sound. Additionally, inspecting for brake caliper binding or thinning discs will help confirm if the clean MOT results reflect genuine mechanical health.
