2008 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · LR58 AAU

The 2008 Ford Fiesta exhibits a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-01 confirming no defects at 108,212 miles. Previous tests from 2024-08-06 (98,602 miles) and 2023-07-05 (87,507 miles) also passed without issues, despite a failed test on the same date and mileage in 2023. This suggests either a procedural error or a non-critical failure that was resolved. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural defects in the last three years indicates consistent maintenance, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny to confirm compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 108,212 miles over 18 years aligns with an average of 6,012 miles annually, reflecting moderate usage. MOT records show regular testing every 12 months, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2022-08-04 test at 77,411 miles marked the earliest recorded data, implying limited historical coverage. This clean, predictable pattern suggests the vehicle has been driven conservatively, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes or exhaust emissions. A buyer should prioritize in-person checks on suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, given the car’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older vehicles. Structural integrity, including rust on underbody panels or chassis, warrants attention due to the model’s susceptibility to corrosion. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2023 failure and sparse defect data highlight the need for a thorough mechanical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s ongoing reliability.
